I would look into a used audiolab 6000a.
Has a competent phono, it has a streamer and it sounds great ( many great reviews)
Search in H-F shark basically new units for $500
Marantz 3300 - Fanboy issues, buyer beware.....
I am looking to build a system for my son and considering the subject pre. for under $600. It’s currently working, and sells for 2x that elsewhere. I have three questions.
1.) What upgrades would be recommended?
2.) Any suggestions on who should do them?
3.) Should I just avoid this?
Thanks much!
