Mid-Hi fi Phono preamp w/ volume control?
I am looking for a low priced (<$500 new or used) preamp with a phono stage or a phono preamp with a volume control. I currently have an old Dual belt drive with a Grado Red Cartridge, that I play through an old reciever in the basement, but I will be purchasing an AR ES-1 w/ Merril mods and a Clearaudio MM when a friend gets married.
This will be going thru the 2 ch bypass of a Sony TAP-9000 ES multichannel preamp, an Adcom 7500 power amp (next to go), and Dynaudio 1.8 mk II's.
I'm sold on SACD, even with the limited software, but I have too much vinyl(~700) that will never see high rez digital, or that the original CD sounds like garbage.
Thanks for any advice,
Jim
