If you already have an amp you like but no phono, you could add a budget phono. I recommend the Rotel RQ-970BX. Great sounding little box has fixed MM/MC retails for only $200, much better than you will find in (most?) budget amps.
Affordable intergrated with phono stage..new/used?
I am looking for an affordable intergrated with phono stage...so far the Rega Brio comes to mind as an option...but are there better used options? I looked at an Arcam Delta 290...but the phono would be extra...my budget is around 3-$500...and have heard as far as used products go...although there are no guarantees...amps are a safe option...thanks for responding..also..a local hi end dealer swears by the NAD 3155 as a budget option...anybody familiar with this piece?
