Audio Technica PEQ3 Phono Preamp
Only Audio-Technica can make a phono preamp at this price. Check out the features of this phono preamp. It's a no brainer.
Connect your turntable to line-level devices. The AT-PEQ3 is an RIAA turntable preamplifier that is designed to convert a turntable’s phono-level output to an RIAA-equalized line-level signal for use with audio mixers, powered speakers, recording units, integrated amplifiers, computers, and other line-level devices.
The RIAA preamp is a device that alters the signal from a turntable by applying an equalization curve and boosting the signal. When a record is cut, the low frequencies are reduced and high frequencies are boosted; on playback the opposite occurs (low frequencies are boosted and high frequencies are reduced). The RIAA filter in the AT-PEQ3 provides both the playback equalization and the signal amplification needed for line-level devices.
Audio Technica PEQ3 Phono Preamp Features:
Converts a turntable (phono-level) signal to an RIAA-equalized line-level signal for input to an audio mixer, computer, integrated amplifier, powered speakers, recording units or other line-level devices
High-quality audio integrated circuits (IC) offer exceptional signal purity and low-noise operation
Corrosion-resistant gold-plated RCA input and output connectors
Compact, all-metal design for durability and isolation from radio frequency interference
Includes AC/DC 18-volt adapter
Designed for turntables using a moving-magnet (MM) type cartridge; not for use with moving-coil (MC) type cartridges
How about a sweet sounding starter phono preamp for moving magnet cartridges that lists for $119 but can be had online for under $70? It's the Audio-Technica AT-PEQ3, a little plug'n'pay box with a wall-wart power supply that's quite, sounds clean and surprisingly dynamic, and gets the job done remarkably well.
