Hi Martinman
I use a restored stock Technics 1200 Mk2 too but my cartridge is a Denon DL-110 with a Ortofon SH-4 headshell. The phono preamp I use is a Hagerman Technology Bugle 2.

It is a nice phono preamp on a budget IMO. I liked this preamp better than the Cambridge Audio 640P. I felt the music was more alive with the Bugle2.
