At Audio Advice, we are loving the vinyl revolution. We started out in 1978 setting up turntables and never stopped! For those of you just entering the fun world of vinyl or those of you getting back into it, one item that may be a bit confusing is the phono preamp. This is a critical piece to your vinyl set up, but does have its technical side which without a proper education, can be a bit daunting. In this video, we’ll first explain why you need a phono preamp and then we’ll conclude by recommending 5 great phono preamps that won’t break the bank and come in under $500.

The first thing you should think about is that there are two main types of phono cartridges: Moving Magnet and Moving Coil. As a general rule, most entry level to moderately priced turntables come with a moving magnet cartridge. Moving coil cartridges have about 10 times less output than a moving magnet, meaning they need a phono preamp capable of amplifying the lower signal from a moving coil. However, these are preferred by audiophiles and music lovers because they are able to extract more information from the record grooves.

Audio Advice has over 20 options for phono preamps in this price range so there are plenty more options to check out as well. If you have questions on any of these products or any other audio gear, feel free to give us a call, chat on our website with one of our experts, or stop into our Raleigh or Charlotte, North Carolina locations.
