Hi everybody:
I recently bought my first tt (a techics 1200 mk2 I got on craigslist) and I'm on the market for a preamp.
With the new acquisition and a few refurbishment it needs, an overall clean and tuning and replace the god damn pop up lamp (how are those small things so expensive to replace?!) I'm not swimming on money so I'm looking at a preamp on the $50 range.
I've been googling it and reading these forums and opinions seems to go towards a DJ Pre II, a Microphono PP400, a Rolls VP29 and a TCC TC-750LC. These are all around the same price and all have good reviews.
So my question is, between these is there a better choice regarding sound quality? Is there one you guys recommend comparing to the others, or can I choose based on features such as a 3.5mm exit, control for gain trim etc, giving sound quality is pretty much the same?
Additionally, would it make a big difference if I skip a few nights out with friends and spent a few dollars more?
Thanks for all the help you can provide me navigating in this great new world and sorry for the noob questions.
Cheers
