The sweet spot for home turntable enthusiasts on a budget seems to be the $200 mark. This might be the best of the bunch.
One can only imagine the sake-fueled club hopping that led to the development of the Seiko Frequency drum machine watch.
Cheap And Cheery Phono Preamps
By James Grahame
I'm on the lookout for an inexpensive phono preamplifier for downstairs. I spotted this homely little Pyle PP-999 box on Amazon for under $22. It's just about as simple as it gets - a set of stereo inputs and outputs on opposite ends of a metal box with a 12 VDC power jack somewhere in the middle.
There's a similarly austere sub-$20 unit from Behringer which looks to be about half the size. Does anyone have experience with either of these little devices? Any other suggestions for a decent ultra-cheap phono preamp?
