Budget 2-ch vinyl playback system?


I want to put a simple, inexpensive (but nice) 2-ch system for vinyl in my office but have no starting point as my main gear is all digital and I have never owned a turntable.

Don't worry about the speakers, I will build something under the guidance of Selah Audio, tailored to the rest of this system as I have done for my main system.

There is already a good thread on budget turntables so I will refer to that but I think that leaves the need for a preamp and amp as open questions.

Please let me know your thoughts regarding this topic.

Thx

nad PP-2 phono preamp, used about $80, and your choice of "brick" gainclone amp--by Topping, HLLY, SMSL, or others. I like the TA2024 or LM1875 chip-based designs, but if your speakers need more power, try other class-d based amps, most about $100 or less. Amazingly-good sound, reliable and affordable.
