Getting into Vinyl...

Was wondering what you guys would recommend for a phono preamp for someone just getting into vinyl and not looking to make this a passion. I am just trying to work some vinyl into my system (VTL 5.5, Krell 2250, b&w 804s) to play with on occasion, not looking to spend alot of money.

The players I have been looking into are the Rega P1, just not sure on the phono pre amp side of things. I was considering a SS phono pre since I already have a Tube pre amp. Is this a good line of thinking?? I don't want to lose bass if possible, and i know having all tube can cause this.

I know nothing about vinyl, except it sounds great and looks fun, so any help is throroughly appreciated.

You still need to answer these questions:

MM or MC? Budget? New or Used?

With the Rega P1, you may want to go with a MM cartridge. There are some nice used and cost effective phono-pre amps on Audigon. Search the classifieds and then search the unit you can afford in the forums for information, look on Vinyl Asylum as well. have fun.
