Phono Pre Amp?

thegoldenear...u shoulda probably listed the cartridge u use. if you're using a MC or HOMC, the cambridge 640p has its limitations gain and loading wise (ie, unless u have techy/mod abilities) i went from the 640p to the musical surroundings phonomena just for this reason. the phonomena usually can be had here for around $300 used. i still have the cambridge and i'd be willing to let it go for $120 plus $10 ship. if u have any interest let me know and i'll put it up in the classifieds.

there's a rega fono mm only phono pre up for sale here. never heard one, but it fits into your price range. research it, wait a week or so and make an or best offer if u find it acceptable...good luck
