I bought a TT--Need a phonopre

OK, I did it, I bought a music hall mmf 5.1 with a goldring1012GX MM cart. My first TT in 30 years. I am going to buy a phonopre tomorrow and I want to spend no more then $700.00 new or used. What should I get? I listen mostly to jazz.

Try the Project Tube Boxes. They're reasonable priced - $450 & $700 respectively and they sound really good. I've got the cheap one with stock tubes and I'm very happy with it. It doesn't have any controls other than switching between MM and MC and I've never wanted for anything with it.

At $700, my choice would be a used Audio Research PH-3. It's an incredibly good phono stage for the money.

Ericjcabrera,
The Cullen mods improve the GCPH futher and they will install balanced inputs if you ask them to. I did this with mine and am now stuck at a point where I don't know if upgrading phono stages would even be worth it.
