Hello everyone this is my first post. I've just got a Michi RHC passive pre and I'am looking for a phono stage that I can use with it. I don't listen to LP's much so I don't know that I want to spend alot.

budget? New? used? -
Welcome to the Forum!
Are you using MM or MC cartridge?
Maybe you should spend a lot, then you might be listening to more LP’s (just kidding)!
Just a few suggestions off the top of my head:
- Cambridge 540P ~ $100
NAD PP2i ~ $130
Music Fidelity V-LPS ~ $150
Cambridge 640P ~ $180 (a V highly regarded phono-pre that belies its under $200 cost)
Or, go with something like a NAD PP3i ~ $200 that has USB output so you can get all your vinyl onto a digital format.

This came to my attention because of a flyer from Audio Advisor offering this unit for just $999.99 on April 1. (no fooling).
While the performance is not quite up to the standards of say, an AURALiC Vega,... -
So if you were looking at a budget CD player which would you prefer the NAD 541i or the Cambridge Audio D500SE? Both are about the same price new. I've love a Rotel but I can't do the carpet and CD player if I go with the one I want and the Cambridge and NAD get glowing reviews...hmmm. I might be able... -
Well I've had my NAD M51 for over a week so far using it everyday and I figured I'd post up some impressions and opinions on the DAC. First I will say that my unit is a factory (NAD) refurbished which saved a few hundred bucks on the unit. I ordered it from SpearIt Sound up in Massachusetts and they...
