I'm not happy with the internal phono preamp in the turntable I have or the one in the AVR. I was wondering if anybody is using an external preamp and if so, which one?

Hi Canesfan
What's your budget? May I ask what kind of turntable and cartridge are you using?
Vinyl is good!
Best regards

I don’t have anything high end as I’m just getting into vinyl, but I’m running a audio technical lp120 and an ortofon red 2m stylus/cartridge. Budget around $500 if it will make a big enough difference. I feel that it will based on research.

That's a good moving magnet cartridge. I have a decent passive phono preamp I can send to you. If you like, PM your contact info and I'll send it to you.

The name is funny, but they make killer audio equipment with top reviews. The Schiit Mani is awesome with my Fluance RT85 table.
