Suggestions For Phono Preamp....


It looks like I am going to finally make a serious effort
to transfer my 200+ records to CD. I just got a very good
deal on a Music Hall MMF-5 turntable; and now I'm looking
to get a phono preamp that will match up decently with
my turntable.
Please note that I own a media duplication company - so
I will be transferring the audio to a professional CD
recorder - not a consumer unit. And since I don't need a
preamp for other sources; a preamp that is only used for
turntables would be preferred.
One last item - would like to keep the cost under $1K
if possible. Any and all suggestions will be appreciated.

Thank you to everyone who posted suggestions for a phono
preamp. Since I am just getting started with records -
I've decided not to "break the bank" just yet. Also, I'm
taking into account that most of the records I will be
transfering to CD are mass market pressings from the 1960s
and 1970s - not audiophile-grade vinyl.
Based on recent reviews, as well as some good feedback
from a friend who plays a lot of vinyl - I've decided to
go with the basic Monolithic PS-1 - with the possibility
of upgrading the power supply at a later date.
Thanks again to everyone - I'm looking forward to
hearing those records very soon!
