Want to get into Analog but i do not have a preamp


I would like to add a turntable to my system but I only have a cd based system now.
I run my wadia direct into Wolcott tube mono's
I was thinking of trying a Vpi Aries or something in that line but do not currently have a preamp.
What would be a good but NOT very expensive preamp that I would only use for vinyl??
Thanks in advance!

I would choose the table/arm/cartridge first. Then match that with a phono pre that's compatible. You certainly don't want to end up with a pre that isn't adjustable if your cartridge requires it! First decide what you want to run then add the pre amp accordingly. I've seen this mistake made numerous times...
