Product Description

Similar in concept and function to the Recoton SP-2, this preamp features better specs, better fit and finish, and very nice retail packaging suitable for gifting. Additional features include a ground wire terminal, gold-plated connectors, power indicator LED and a limited lifetime warranty. This is an excellent choice for use with component stereos, home theatre systems and better-quality PC sound cards.

5.0 out of 5 stars rescuing my vinyl, January 10, 2005

I purchased a stack of out-of-print vinyl at Amoeba music in San Francisco. When I tried to line my inherited record player into my computer to transfer the discs to CD, the signal was weak and unlistenable. After considerable frustration, a helpful person recommended purchasing a pre-amp. Oh, but then the fun began. Radio Shack, local high-end stereo shop, Best Buy. None of them had one. So I was pleasantly surprised to find this item on Amazon. Much to my delight, after a relatively straightforward assembly/lining-in process, I was happily spinning my vinyl. The resulting WAVs (for those interested in digitizing your vinyl) sound GREAT. All you need is a simple WAV editing program and you're there. It's a great way to save those albums you can't find on CD!!!!

Well, it was all I was willing to spend, so I gave it a star. But it has DEFINITE 60-cycle hum; you can't ignore it, try as you may. Apparently nobody believes in sheilding any more; that or they don't know how to do it, or perhaps they've never had record albums, so they don't know it's not supposed to sound like that. I don't know what to tell you. Is it worth it to spend another couple hundred or more bucks to get a receiver that will still handle phono input? Or does anybody make a reasonably priced phono pre-amp that works without hum? I don't know the answer. Good luck to you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just the ticket!, October 8, 2005

This pre-amp allowed me to hook up my old turntable to my new Sherwood RX-4105 stereo receiver. I was only able to attach the ground wire from the turntable to the pre-amp case because there is no ground terminal on any of my sound equipment. Still, there was just a very low hum at full volume! Very satisfied with this product!
