Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio?
@jasonbourne71 “China will never contend in that segment!”   Never is a very long time….  
Phono Preamp Recs under $200 for My System
The NAD PP2e is an excellent unit and well within your price range provided you don’t mind buying second hand. If brand new is preferred, it will be slightly above the stated price range.   
Leaving my amplifier on ok?
@highend64 seems to have already answered his own question. Anywho, here’s my take. Give the ones that generate heat room to breathe. Chances are all will be well.
