New to high end audio phono parasound p5

My name is Woody I'm new to high end audio. I have a back ground in Pro Audio live sound. I'm out of that field about 15 years ago. Now I found my self building speakers as a hobby I'm getting into high end home audio. I just pick up myself Parasound P5. I want to add a record player in the near future. What brand do you recommend under a $1000.00. Have anyone use a P5 with our without external preamp.

Didn't check my spelling. With or without preamp? Please feel free to give some insight as I'm new to this. Thank you

I actually picked up a pro-ject carbon, but not yet hooked up. The Parasound P5 was on order and not yet arrived.

I'd like to know if anyone has a P5 if they are using the built in phono preamp or an external.

Thanks for all of the replies. The reason I asked, being with live sound some of the console preamp isn't as good as out external preamp. The signal had to be patched out to external unit for the vocal at least.

I still haven't had a chance to test the P5 yet. My speakers is not yet complete. It's too much work more me to hook it into my home theater system as all the components are in the basement.

Will listen to it before I make any decision. Thanks again for the inputs.
