The Rotel 1070 pre is stupid good for 500 list, and includes a phono input. It's not the last word in resolution in stock form, but once modified it will let you ignore 2k preamps with glee.
Quit vinyl?
I'm in the process of upgrading my system, and looking for a new amp. All modern amps have only line inputs, so I either have to keep my Rotel RQ 970 pre-pre, or find a suitable amp. Now I asked myself how often I use my turntable, and that is not much, actually: almost never. So should I quit vinyl, sell mu turntable and pre-pre, which also will provide some extra cash, or do you guys reckon I will kick myself in the head in a couple of years? Any experiences? BTW, it's not a question of sound quality, just convenience and space, and I own about 400 records....
Thanx, Satch.
