I recommend an older NAD integrated like a 3020, 3220PE or 3225PE. Check NAD's website for archived product info. This will make it clear which models have phono stages (most all if not all of them did up until a certain year). These usually go for your price range on eBay. For speakers, there's a nice pair of PSB Alphas up for $100 on Audiogon today. Or look for Paradigm Atoms, Paradigm Titans, or Athena's bookshelf models.
Solid integrated pre amp for beginner?
Hey --
So Im PUMPED because I just received in the mail my first turntable -- a brand new Rega P1 that I snagged on eBay (for $250 incl shipping - good price, right?)
Now I have to complete my setup. I need a good integrated pre amp (I'm looking to spend in the $100 range) as well as some good speakers (in the $200 range, maybe?).
Would love any suggestions or help. Looking forward to hearing it all together.
thx
