Phono Amp Recommendations


I have a turntable and about 450 LPs, all in mint or near mint condition, that I have not listen too for over 15 years. While my wife has been very patient about the dust collectors, it has pretty much come to the point where I either listen to them or put them on eBay. So I thought I’d give them one more spin before I decide. However, I don’t know much about phono amps, so I would appreciate some recommendations for a good SS phono amp that handles both MM and MC cartridges (I’m not looking for a do-it-all preamp). I'm not opposed to buying a unit from the re-sell market either.

I want to add one more vote for the Monolithic Sound PS-1.
I'm in situation similar to yours - have well above 200
vinyl albums in better than average condition - but did not
have a decent turntable or preamp for transfers to CD.
I recently got a very good deal on a demo Musci Hall MMF-5
turntable; and bought the Monolithic PS-1 to use for my
preamp. So far I really like the combination.
The nice thing about the PS-1, of course, is that it can
be easily set up to use with just about any type of phono
cartridge - MM or MC.
