I am have a BSR 26CX and i need to know what kind of pre-amp to get. I would like a non expensive one but not really cheap.

Give an actual budget. Something that is "non-expensive but not really cheap" means nothing.

Why a preamp and not a receiver? Are you planning on buying an amp or do you already have one? What about speakers?

If you're using a BSR changer isn't it already built into a radiogram or something with an amplifier and speakers built in? I know some made it into stand alone turntables in the US but they were generally intended for radiograms, music centre's and Dansette type record players.

Also does it have a ceramic or magnetic cartridge?

Either way they're not exactly the sort of item that needs to be run through a decent quality phono stage so if it has a magnetic cartridge any amplifier or receiver with a built in phono stage will do or if you do need a stand alone one then any of the cheap Chinese or Radio Shack type ones would work.

If it has a ceramic cart you might want to see if you can replace it with a Magnetic one or you will need to find something that will accept a Ceramic cart, you can use it into a normal magnetic input but it will be more than a bit quiet.
