Any advice?

Jaaa I have seen the Canton Ooops! I looked at it because I saw the name on this forum before. I just thought that the audio pro was more powerful at 150w. I am also wonering about a pre-amp. Maybe the NAD pp375?

[gideonh99]

Is the Canton not to weak?

[gideonh99]

Also on the MKii manual it says low pass filter and high pass filter? Or do you mean both should be adjustable?

Both should be adjustable if possible. 150 watts is not too weak. It all depends upon your room size.

If you like the Dali Concept speakers, you should skip the sub and get a pair of the Concept 6 speakers which have a speaker Sensitivity of 91db. You could drive these speakers to loud levels with just 10 wpc. You 316 would have no problem driving them to extremely loud levels with out breaking up.

Wow!! Cool! How does that work? So I should look for speakers with a high sensitivity?
I do love the dalis sound!!!! Any idea about the pre-amp?

[blackraven]

If you got a preamp you would need a dedicated power amp. I think that you would be better off with more efficient speakers-higher speaker sensitivity of 90 or better.

The pre-amp is for the record player I just got. I was wondering if the NAD PP 375 would be an ok buy. So if I can find good speakers with a sensitivity over 90 I should get them and then all will be well?

what is your budget in US dollars for a phono preamp?

Yes, speakers with a sensitivity rating of 90db or higher would play very loud with a 40wpc amp like the NAD.


Here are a few PP's that are mid to lower priced-

Clearaudio Nano v2 Phono Preamp

Creek OBH-15 MKII Phono Preamp

Bellari VP-530 USB Phono Preamp

Bellari VP130 Tube Phono Preamp

Pro-Ject Tube Box DS

Pro-Ject Tube Box S Phono Preamp

Cambridge Audio Azur 651P Phono Preamp

As with most any thing in audio, as the price goes up so does the quality for the most part. The Clear Audio is a great buy. But you should talk to the store that sells your model TT to see what preamp that they recommend with your gear and phono cartridge

About 120 dollars. Thank you for the advice on the speakers I appreciate it!!

You may be able to pick up one of the PP's I listed above for a cheaper price in your part of the world. Certainly Cambridge audio should be cheaper as it is British. Clear Audio is German.
