Need an inexpensive phono stage

Rolfs, (Bellari), for less than 100 bucks!!! It was matched to a Luxman PX 100 with a Clearaudio Classic Aurum cartdrige, played through an NAD C375BEE integrated amplifier ... that's before the Lux CA combo found their way into a vintage system ... sounded awesome!!! Rolfs, (Bellari) entry level kicks butt!!!

If you're handy with a soldering iron the Hagerman Bugle would be very hard to beat for that sort of money.

2nd to Bellari! It has a great headphone jack as well.

Thanks for the responses! At this point I'll either pick up a Musical Fidelity V-LPS or Bellari, depending on which I stumble on first used. The Bellari VP129 looks really interesting to me, I think I'd go for that one.

I had the Bellari, and have a V-LPS. The V-LPS is so much better, and totally trouble free - which you can't say about the Bellari. The V-LPS is also switchable between MM and MC.
