Got a turntable sorted but going to need a phono pre-amp as I only have an aux to plug into. Does anyone have any recommendations or advice. I know you can get super cheap ones for like £20 but assume they are very rubbish. I want to spend as little as possible but get something that is an 'okay' budget model. I'm thinking second hand on ebay or somewhere may be the way to go but have no idea what to look for, as in what would a good quality one be?

Think the Technics is is. Just need a phone pre amp now.

Hey, About to get my first TT in a long time and am on a tight budget. I have narrowed it down to a brand new Project Debut or a used, though not very muchl, in great condition, Technics 1200 MK5 for a similar price. What would people recommend? I seem to be reading conflicting things. Some people say go for the Project Debut as the it will sound better as the Tecknics is a 'DJ' turntable and not a 'audiophile' turntable. Others say the opposite and say a good Technics 1200 outperforms pretty much any entry level audiophile turntable. The other issue I guess in one is brand new and the other is used. I'm leaning towards the Technics, I've used them before and like their robustness and the fact you can change speed at a touch of a button but would still prefer to go for the one that will sound best. Thanks
