Entry level phono stage


HI,

I'm looking for an entry level phono preamp for my new (used)Bryston B60. I currently have a Technics SL-1950 (70's) with a $80 grado. I plan on eventually upgrading my phono setup to entry level hi-fi.

I'm probably going to get something nwe or used in the $200 range. I've seen a couple of Creek obh-8's online in that price range. I know I can get a new NAD setup for that price. Also, any one know anything about the bellari rolls vp129, I'm drown to the tube and the look of it. :)

Thanks for any advise.

I have a Bellari VP129 in my office system. It's a steal in its price range and it's internal components are surprisingly good at this level. It has quite good resolution, better than average bass response and compliments my Oracle Paris with Grado Reference well. I did upgrade the tube to a Siemens which further enhanced resolution and offered a bit more detail. All in all, this phono stage is going to be hard to beat for $200. Best of luck in your search....
