EAR 834P is an excellent choice and comes with a volume control so you need no other preamp. Personally I think the stock tubes (EI Yugos anyway, not sure what comes with them now) sound great, which is not to say that some NOS may not be even better, but they are hardly necessary.
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.
