Phono Preamp

[World Of Wiz]

I've never seen a rack mount one.

The Manley Steelhead is rack mounted, but VERY expensive. For lower
cost phono preamps, try the NAD PP-1 (?), or the Creek, both are under
$200 but also don't have any gain control. You might want to find an
old Marantz, etc. hi-fi receiver and use the preamp in that as well.
Dynaco PAS 2 or 3 tube preamps can be had for under $100 and have
good phono sections.

cool, any other suggestions?

This may be of no use to you if you are not a pro tools user, but the Mbox 2 Pro has a phono preamp built into it. Seems like a cool concept with some potential.

No gain control but the radial J33 is deffinitly a step up from the bbe (i hate that thing) it also has a thud rumble high pass filter, which is pretty dope.

also, some old hi fi amps have pretty decent phono pres in them.

ya might want to check some audiofool boards... these guys sweat out every detail and jump on the new shit in a second so maybe you'll find some ubber pre used for nuthin...

Here's a rackmount mixer:

Two phono/line inputs...

It also has a mic input...I wonder how good that is considering I don't have a mic pre yet.

What do you guys think? Any users of the Rane MP2 or MP4 out there?
