Thanks. I have, in fact, gotten an M-Audio sound card to install for that purpose.As I said, from what I've read it seems the 640 is a good choice. I became curious about the Music Fidelity V-LPS after seeing it on the Stereophile list. I have read several of your threads Elevick so the 640 gets a strong vote. Also, from what I can tell the Creek OBH-9se is for MC carts? Did you mean the Music Hall Pa1.2?
help me decide on budget phono pre
Can anyone help me decide on a budget phono pre that will be an improvement over the Nad PP3.From what I've read it appears the Cambridge 640 and Music Fidelity V-LPS are worth looking into in the lower budget bracket. I have a Music Hall MMF5.1(goldring1012Gx MM) Sunfire amp and processor(w/phono stage) and Definitve tech. speakers. I want to digitalize my LPs so thought the Nad PP3 w/ usb would work but really don't care for the sound. (The phono stage in the Theater Grand sounds better(fuller)) I really don't want to spend the winter converting hundreds of LPs and not be happy with the sound or even worse, upgrade and have to do it again.Do I need to expand my budget? Wait for something better used? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
