Hi all,
What is the best configuration for those first crucial one or two stages of an audio amplifier? I mean when you're dealing with the very low signal levels you typically get with phono cartridges (anyone remember them? - they're making a comeback!) in particular wrt to minimising noise and distortion? What's best for the front end? Are we talking long-tailed pair or something more involved? I'm well out of date on the subject.
cheers.
