Just getting a new system in consisting of a Thorens TD203 with Ortofon 2Mblue cartridge, going to a Rotel RA 1572 and Bowers & Wilkins CM6 SII connected with Cardas 101 cables. The system is on a Furman line conditioner. [there's also a CD player and a Sonos connect]
Stock cartridge on the 203 is rather low brow, so upgraded to to the 2Mblue. I assume the stock phono-interconnect is not the greatest either. Any suggestions for sensible upgrade?
I have an old Project phono-box (from ~1998) and could try alternatives. Not sure that is worth-while, though. I also have some spare blue Tributaries RCA interconnects.
Not sure re phono-pre-amp. Is it worth adding a dedicated phono pre-amp, or is the built-in of the RA1572 on par with the rest of the gear?
Thanks for any intel/impressions!
