Hi, I'm looking for a little help please. I own a Marantz SR6012 which has a built in turntable phono stage. Im looking to purchase a Rega Planar 1 turntable & my issue is the length of phono cable (7m) as I need to get to my amp in another room.
My options are
1. Get the Regs Planar 1 £248 & use an RCA phono adapter to join the hard wired RCA phono leads to my phono cable & into the turntable input of my Marantz which has a built in MM phono stage.
2, Get the Rega Planar Plus, which has a built in phono stage with no hard wired rca cables, meaning I can plug my phono leads directly into the Rega Plana 1 plus & into another phono on my amp e.g CD input, using this method I am not forced to join the RCA csbles using an adapter.
Any ideas which one would be best? I'm a little worried about going down the option 1 route (which is cheaper) due to having to use the phono adapter, but I've no idea if the Marantz built in phono stage would be better or worse than the one that comes with the Rega Planar 1 plus.
Hope this makes sense. Any help would be appreciated.
Mark.
