When shopping for a dedicated phono preamp awhile back...the Project box(standard issue-non tube) and Grado PH-1 were head and shoulders above the competition...at least at their respective price points...I also demoed the low end ROlls (Red Unit) $50 as was pleasantly surprised by its performance....FWIW...I have owned entry level REGA/Projects in the past...one really needs a dedicated wall mount to make them work properly...something I was unwilling to due...hope that helps....
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
