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

Although it does not have a USB port, I highly recommend you consider the Creek OBH-9SE listed here on Agon. I have the 8SE and if it's anything like mine, you will be very pleased overall. Don't wait.
