Re: [OT] Connecting record player to amp

["Stephen Jones" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

Oh well, RS online show no stock of the BTech or the similar cheapo
Vivanco jobbie. And after ringing the local store they don't keep
anything cheaper than a NAD unit at =A350.

Looks like I'll be buying from the distributor after all. That'll be an
excuse to buy a bunch of interconnects at the same time :-)

I'm assuming from the question that the amp doesn't have a "record=20
player input" so you're looking for an answer more sophisticated=20
than "a pair of phono leads" :-)

What sir needs is something called a "phono amp" or "phono
stage".

Prices start around =A320 (Richer Sounds do something called the B-tech=20
BT26) and go upwards... an awfully long way indeed...

If you're looking to spend at the budget end, then Richer will always=20
sell you something reasonable with a smile. If you lean to the higher=20
end, then Walrus have an excellent reputation in such things - they=20
list phono stages from =A3150 upwards at=20
