So, what are you guys using for a phono pre-amp? I'm thinking of getting one and reviving my vinyl collection.

Thanks

There are many choices from places like Acoustic Sounds and other companies. A lot of the choice depends on if you are going to use a low output moving coil cartridge (recommended) or a conventional moving magnet type (not recommended).

Thanks, however I was looking for something a little more specific.

There are literally dozens of choices depending on your cartridge type, your budget, whether you want solid state or tube......

In the end, you have to do some homework.

Sounds like it might be useful to indicate what you have for a turntable and cartridge currently, as well as a budget price range. That might generate some leads...

Good point. I'm out of town now, but I'll check when I get back as the make and model escape me at this time. Vacation has a habit of doing that to a guy. smile
