Entry level phono stage


HI,

I'm looking for an entry level phono preamp for my new (used)Bryston B60. I currently have a Technics SL-1950 (70's) with a $80 grado. I plan on eventually upgrading my phono setup to entry level hi-fi.

I'm probably going to get something nwe or used in the $200 range. I've seen a couple of Creek obh-8's online in that price range. I know I can get a new NAD setup for that price. Also, any one know anything about the bellari rolls vp129, I'm drown to the tube and the look of it. :)

Thanks for any advise.

Stay away from the NAD... I had one and it sounded on par with a transistor radio. No guts, detail or dynamics..
The new Cambridge Audio Azur 640P phono stage has been getting good comments on this board. It goes for around $198. It is MM and MC.
As regards the NAD it can be improved if you obtain a regulated power supply from Radio Shack,it then loses it's 'transistor radio' quality and has quite good resolution and a much extended bass response.
