Phonomena review/questions
just plugged in a MS Phonomena phono pre in place of a Onkyo Integra P3030 pre, must say i'm disappointed. Not an overall improvement and prefer the old Onkyo. Not as much punch, seems laid back in vocals and upper end. Bass seems enchanced though. It has only been on about an hour, wouldnt think more warmup would help although it recommends 1 hr minimum warmup. have tried gain @ 40, 44 and load @ 50K and 100K, couldn't hear any difference between these settings.
using Denon DL 160 cartridge and Jolida 502 int. amp.
Any suggestions to pull this change out of the disappointment dept.?
