Phono Pre Amp?

OK!

Thanks for your suggestions and I did purchase the 640p and the p must stand for Piece. The build quality is terrible and had nothing but hum after i hooked it up.

anyway it is on its way back from where it came from.

back to that drawing board and thats what i get for being cheap and trying to hide it from the wife. LOL

and again thank you!

If you can stretch your budget a bit, might I suggest checking into the PS Audio GCPH($999 new, $600-700 used and can be modded to good effect latter) It seems to have fallen out of favor here for some reason(not the latest thing maybe?) but it's extremely flexible, priced right, and is dead quiet with great sound quality(at least in my set up) I bought it with the intention of upgrading to a more expensive(BAT,EAR,Ayre)unit but every time I look into this I reach the same conclusion, Nothing's wrong so why spend all that money.

Used Gram Slee is a great choice. Also, used Pro-Ject Tube Box SE II

Try Yaqin MS-12B. You can get it at somewhere between $250 and $400. ;-) It worked better than my friend's Bellari with Chinese stock tubes.
I changed the stock 12AX7s to old used mullards and 12AU7s to old RCAs (paid $80 for both), and the sound got much better. It now sounds quite close to my friend's Audio Electronics ae-3 mkii.

My mistake. Not Audio Electronics ae-3 mkii, but Audio Electronics PH-1.
