What to upgrade/do next?
Thanks. So any suggestions for a good and affordable phono preamp? That will bump things up in quality a bit before I get a new TT, right? Anything that would go nicely with my nad? 
What to upgrade/do next?
Thanks everyone for the responses.To address some of the questions...If I run my turntable on "line" through the NAD I can definitely get it up loud enough. If I switch it to phono, it still comes through the speakers, but incredibly quiet. Won't ...

Thanks for the tips. I just picked up a music hall USB-1 for 250. Hopefully it works out well. Listened to it in the store and it worked out fine.

Yeah. I am looking into the m-lore and like the reviews so far. And they are less than I was actually thinking of spending on speakers. Can you elaborate more on the phono input? The turntable will work on via "phono" or "line". I have been told i...
