Phono stage for newbie...


I am currently using a rega P7 TT with a Dynavector 20X-H (high output MM) cartridge. My preamp (Rotel RC-1082)has an onboard phono pre that sounds good. I have never experienced a separate phono pre so I have no idea where to start. My budget would be $500 - 700. Will this get me a phono pre that would sonically better the Rotel?

I would second the Tube Box. I've got one I'm listening to right now. Perhaps not the highest-fi, but a solid performer. Very smooth. It definately won't leave you hanging, and they're cheap.

btw, I have a Rotel 1072 pre-amp that I was using the p-stage in when I first got back into vinyl - do yourself a favor and get an external stage. The Rotel unit isn't up to snuff. You'll be amazed at the difference.
