I need a Phono Stage Recommendation
I need a Phono Stage Recommendation
My parents just moved from my childhood home into a much smaller condo, and in the move I found a ton of LPs in my closet. So, I brought them home and now I'm thinking about getting a TT. A friend has a Music Hall MMF-5 that I like, but I'll need a phono stage since there's no phono input on my receiver. Can someone recommend a decent (read: inexpensive) phono stage?

IIRC Circuit City/ Best Buy used to sell a small in-line phone preamp for about $25-30; Radio Shack has them too. Should do the job just fine. I also see lots of small DJ -type mixers, with phone inputs, at my local pawn shop. I use a two-input Gemini model meself.

There are Stanton and Gemini turntables being sold now that include the phono stage in the TT. Some models also have an optical out.
