My suggestion is save up. The Herron is twice your budget but so good you will probably never want to upgrade which makes it totally worth it. Otherwise if you have to have something now you could look around for an old used ARC PH3SE or something like that for around a grand.
Whats a good phono preamp for an Ortofon Synergy G MC cartridge
My budget is under 1500. Suggestions welcome.
