Hi
After months (if not years) of randomly searching ebay for a turntable, I finally picked up a Project Debut (MkI) yesterday at a good price. Now looking for a phono pre-amp/phono stage!
Budget is very tight (the other half is unimpressed I've bought "something that went out with the Ark" lol, so I'd be a dead man walking if I spent too much more.... ;-)
So financial pressure points me to the £20 offerings at Richer Sounds (Vivanco PA111) and Maplins, but I suspect these will be a false economy - anyone had any experience of either?
Otherwise, any other suggestions - if not by brand/model, then a minimum spend? I don't think the turntable will get a lot of use (my CD collection numbers LP's 30-1!), but there's little point in spending £20 if it's going to restrict the performance of the Debut.
thanks in advance
