Hi All,

I currently have a Rega Planar 1 connected to my Onkyo RZ800 with the LR Pre-Out going to the Main In of a NAD c350. With the Onkyo in Pure mode (no processing?) it sounds way better than the Onkyo on its own.

I'm interested in your opinions as to whether pushing the TT directly into the NAD's DISC input via a £100-£200 Phono Stage would sound better?

As I use the Onkyo for many other sources it's going to mean putting an RCA switcher thingy in place of the Pre Out/Main In jumpers so I can select the either:

Nad Pre out > NAD Main IN
Or
Onkyo Pre out > NAD In Main IN

I suppose it all depends on the quality of the Onkyo's Phono Stage and Pre Amp? Also, whether an RCA switch is going to decrease quality...??
