i need a phono preamp for my HK 130. I'm currently using a crappy Intertan 9V battery powered preamp from Radioshack.
I'd like something that is of a little better quality and warmer tone than what I have.
The turntable in question is a Gemini XL-500II.
what about the models on www.phonopreamps.com? |

Check out these phono pre-amps from The Needle Doctor:

I particularly like the BT926 as a budget solution for $70. Also, if you are willing to spend more, look at the Sumiko ProJect Box for $119. It is superb.
Good luck! |

Thanks for the help/advice.
I have returned my AVR 130 for the more powerful and practical HK 3380. I have no need for a surround receiver and so when Future Shop got the HK 3380 in, I decided it was a smarter move and more cost effective.
The phono preamp built into it is vastly better than what I was using. In a few years I'll probably upgrade.
Now I have to wait until Tuesday for my Gemini 'table to show up. Then to pick a cartridge... |
