So I decided to try cheap first - I ordered a Behringer compact preamp for only $30. It sounds ridiculously cheap, but I can return it if I'm not happy. Pro-jects and NADs are about $130 here in Toronto. I've read mixed reviews of the Behringers. I figured I'll spend the $30 just to try it and if I'm not happy I'll get the NAD. Worst case is I'm out $30.
I may come back here when I get the preamp and try to set up my Technics TT. Any general advice about the TT setup?
Thanks again, everyone.
I'm kind of hoping that the high end HiFi bug DOESN'T bite.
I already have some pretty expensive hobbies, including beer brewing, charcuterie with extremely expensive meats, and knitting (yes, knitting) with insanely high priced wool.
Last thing I need is to become an "audiophile", but a good chunk of my disposable income HAS been going to vinyl lately.
