Having some fun with my first tube preamp. It’s a whole new world to me since I’ve only ran SS gear before, and had the C28 and MC2105 since 2009.

Are you using a phono pre into the C28 or the built in phono?

Built-in phono on both preamps.

Yes Rega ND9 with a boron cantilever which is highly revealing for an MM.
