Talking to a guy who wants 300 for his.

My main question is, can i use my rega mini phono pre with this or do i need their specialty pre.

I cannot find any guidance in the articles on the web.

Also, any comments about your experiences and opinions on price and quality are welcome, thanks.

    If your Rega phono pre has RCA outs, there should be no reason why you couldn't run it into one of the inputs.

    Thanks for the input zingo,I just got through hooking up my new creek integrated, sounds very smooth, im still kinda skeered about hooking the tt straight to it, not questioning you, just questioning my luck.

    I gotta believe that it would not be labeled aux/phono if it could not handle it, and i dont think there would be any harm done if the tt was hooked into my mini pre, then into the creek.

    Im gonna get my search on again, but not a lot out there concerning this specifically.

    The guy was also trying to meet up with a guy to sell him a 40 watt jolida tube amp that he had documentation proving almost 650 bucks of work done recently.

    He had not heard from the guy, even though he was supposed to have called him at 9am.

    I told him if the sale fell through, we would definitely be talking.

    Okay, i got over my paranoia,hooked up the tt, and of coarse it was just fine.

    The descriptions i read about this unit were pretty much on the money, very smooth,could listen all day without fatigue, i would prefer a little more brightness in the top end, think i will bring in the kappa 5s and see if the emits will help with that.

    Have not called seller yet to see if the jolida is still available, but if it is, i will be selling my denon avr 3300, or the yamaha rxv2500 that i just bought a new remote for to pile a little more cash up for it.

    kepping fingers crossed.
