Project Phono Box vs. Creek OBH-8

Sugarbie, thanks for the response. I'm looking for something that I could use with good results even if I decide to modestly upgrade my turntable & cartridge. That's why I would be willing to spend $150. By the way, I have heard the Project Phono Box at a friend's house with a very similar set-up as mine. The Creek is more expensive but I'm wondering if it's worth the extra cost over the Phono Box.

If you are willing to go a little bit higher, the Channel Islands phono stage would be a better bang for the dollar. A used Monolithic would be an even better deal! For $25, the Radio Shack should be better than either phono stage you're contemplating.

I am currently doing a demo of the brand new Blue Circle BC27. Nice piece, but its MSRP is $595.
