DavieAddison Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) Anyone know a good pre-amp for a turntable that's ideally around $100 or less? Maybe the worst timing possible... I got those two Aphex records, London and Barcelona from this year, and when I went to listen to them realized the pre-amp I've had from over a decade died. I shook it and there was a part rattling around. I've heard good things about Schiit and see one for $149 that includes an output but just wanted to see what you guys recommended.

mcbpete Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Have had this one sitting on the floor for the past 10+ years doing its pre-amp duties with no-fuss. Was £60 ($76) but I'm not sure if they're being produced any more ... https://www.techradar.com/reviews/audio-visual/hi-fi-and-audio/hi-fi-accessories/cambridge-audio-azur-640p-258118/review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enthusiast Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I have one of these Rega preamps. It sounds great and it has USB output as well as rca. It's pretty tiny too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejewk Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I have a Project Audio one which does the job nicely and wasn't too pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baph Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) I have the Schiit Mani, no complaints! It replaced one of those old ART DJ Pre II units (you can still get those for under $70). The Mani was a noticeable improvement. Edited January 4 by baph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
