Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

Depends on your budget.

Assuming you're going to be using moving magnet or moving iron carts, I'd recommend the DB Systems DB-8, but it's $300 and you might not want to spend that much.
I have a DB Systems DB-1 preamp and the onboard phono stage is essentially the DB-8. I had a stand alone DB-8 years ago that I foolishly sold and wish I had back.
Right now, I'm also using a Schiit Mani II for the second turntable and it's OK but if I had to do it over again I wouldn't have bought it.
U-Turn Audio's Pluto 2 gets good reviews, it's $109. I've never heard one.
If you want to go really cheap, there's the Fosi Box X1 at $40.



The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
