Is anyone using an outboard phono preamp with the halo if so which one and what were the results.

Any phono preamp will work fine with your integrated amp. What cartridge do you have and what is your price range for a phono preamp? New or used?

Take a look at the thread below. I recommend a used Ray Sammuels F-117 Nighthawk. They show up occasionally on Audiogon. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/favorite-phono-stage-in-the-500-800-range?highlight=%24500%2B...
