Rowland Consonance preamp needs a phono preamp

A friend is offering me a Jeff Rowland Consonance preamp for a great price, but it doesn't have a phono preamp. Problem is, I listen to a lot of vinyl. Can I find a good phono preamp and cables for around $200, or should I just forget it?

Thanks!

Call JR and ask if they have the phono for this pre amp and ask how much it would cost to install. My guess $200 -$300

i bought a consanance a few years ago and also wanted a phono stage---I called Rowland and they had one laying around, I think they sold it to me for $200-$300-it is simply a approx 3x3 inch black box pluin module.

Thanks for the tip - I'll give Rowland a call. Does their phono stage require a wall wart and additional cables?

Has anyone tried the Trigon Vanguard II made in Germany? It's available locally for $200.

I just called Rowland - they want $450 for the plug in phono stage. Ouch.

Do it. The Phono Section from this one is really good.
