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?

I was trying to stay under $500 (new or used)but no sure if I’d hear any improvements at that level.
