kieransd Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Hello, Im sure there are 100's of threads to look at, but I thought it would be more direct for me to just drop another one. I am currently using what I believe is an old HiFi turntable (the MTT1) with a built in pre amp and a pretty decent speaker system along side it. I am looking to upgrade to a better turntable and am looking for something preferably with a built in pre amp (unless i could find a good price on a player and a pre amp). I don't know too much about what to look for realistically so any help would be brilliant. I am looking spend around 200-250 english pounds on the turntable, so if you could give me any help I would appreciate it a lot. Cheers, Kieran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Kieran So you have separate speakers and amp but no preamp/phono in? Pick up a used TT in that range and you'll have something nice, used Pro-ject or Rega can be done on Ebay. What's your local Gumtree like? Might be something there. If you want to go new there are a few options, Pro-Ject Elemental is pretty basic or an Audio Technica AT-LP120 has built in pre. That said built in preamps will always be poor, if you could get a used TT with decent cart for £100-150 and then pick up a good preamp new or used I think then you'd maximise your cash. kieransd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieransd Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 So you have separate speakers and amp but no preamp/phono in? I have a separate speaker system hooked up to the Turntable with a RCA Red and White. What would I be looking for if I were to get a serape preamp?

LIGMA_BALLZ Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Radio shack used to sell seperate pre-amps, I just got one of the audio technica lp60s and it's awesome for a compact fully auto record player with a built in pre amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieransd Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 What from the Pro-Ject range would you say is best to look at? Theres a fair few Debut's on eBay, which are currently reasonably prices (most likely to raise as the bid goes on, but worth a watch) Edit: Theres a Pro-Ject 1.2 for a very fair price? Any information on this product? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinch Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 It's an old model, but still a good buy if it works perfectly. Or you can just grab something like this: http://www.analogueseduction.net/pro-ject-turntables/pro-ject-debut-phono-sb-turntable-b-stock-silver.html Brand new table, comes with a built-in phono stage, so it's pretty much plug-and-play.
