Budget Phono preamp

[ocpp]

I am setting up a beginner turntable system for one of my family members, bought a bookshelf speaker and Stanton T.62 turntable which needs a phono preamp. I am hesitant to throw another 10k or so on a brand new preamp.

One of my acquaintances offered to sell an old Cox equalizer (1980s) which does both MC/MM for rs. 5000. It's in good working condition.

Is it worth it, any thing else in this price range?

I recently bought NobSound Little Bear T7, since I did not want to spend too much on phono stage. It is around 5k if you manage to get from US. India price I think is slightly higher. https://www.amazon.com/Nobsound-Lit...ds=little+bear+nobsound&qid=1575774552&sr=8-1

If you are interested in making phono preamp by yourself, do contact Sachin his CNC phono kit is on par with the best phono preamps available today and quite cheap to build. Further Sachin is a gentleman who will provide his full support & guidance for you to build it. His handle is sachu888

I recently got a Behringer. I think the model was PP400 which sounds good. Fuller bass than the integrated vintage pioneer amp that I have. Treble is slightly rolled off in comparison as well. This one came cheap for about 3K

+1 for CNC Phono Preamp. Even if someone is not a DIY freak, I would recommend this. Inexpensive and a lot of value for money.

+1 for CNC. It's an excellent phono for the price.

phono preamp.

Please check out Torvin. They have a good phono pre at reasonable cost. One of my friend added it recently in his system. I have auditioned it, good product.
