I need a phono preamp and have looked at the Sumiko Phono box, NAD PP-2, and Parasound. They are all around $100-$150. Any thoughts or comments. My guess is at this price range they are all about the same.
Those will all do the job. I think that you might also look at the Hagerman Bugle. It can be battery powered or with an optional power supply. Hagerman build some nice phono stages.
I'm really really happy with my Channel Islands (CI Audio) VPP-1. Audiogon user "underwoodwally" sells them - call for pricing (unit is under $300). It was an enormous improvement over the Parasound P/PH100 I used to own.
