You have several choices of a phono preamp in your price range, but I will limit my suggestion to one: Lehmann Audio Black Cube, preferably with the larger SE power supply. You can often find the Black Cube SE for sale here on Audiogon, and it is a fine performer and value. The only "caveat" I have is that the Black Cube SE seems to work better with higher output (1.5 mV up to about 5 mV) moving magnet and moving iron (i.e, Grado) cartridges (than with low output moving coil models.
Phono-Pre Suggestions ?????
I am trying to venture back into vinyl and need sound suggestions for a phono preamp and cartridge combo. What works for you? I have a new Rega P-25 on the way and could use some help. I have favorable thoughts of getting a Dynavector or Rega cartridge. My budget for the pre is 500/600. And about the same range for a cartridge. To much out there and I really don't want to shoot in the dark!
