Hello,

I'm thinking of buying a turntable to play my old LPs again. I'm
currently using an Audiolab 8000s Amp. and realized there aren't any
phono inputs. I do not wish to trade in for another amp. I wonder if
anybody out there have any suggestions.

Thanks,
Tom

Sure! I have a great little phono section from Parasound. It retails
for about $150 - but I have two open box demos, but only oine turntable
on demo - so............ I'll take $105 delivered ;-)

I have also an Audiolab 8000S and I just purchased a NAD PP-1, only for
listening to my old vinyl´s (I am
not a vinyl entusiast). To my ears it sounds good - at the price (DKK500 =
about £50) it is excellent, but it has only a MM input.

Specifications is listed on the box.:

Input impedance R and C 47kohm, 220pf
Input sensitivity (200mV out) 2.5 mV
Signal to noise (A weighted w. cartridge) 78dB
(unweighted w. cartridge) 72dB
Input overload (20Hz/1kHz/20kHx) 55/63/580mV
Rated distortion (THD 20Hz - 20kHz) 0.04%
RIAA response accuracy +/- 0.5dB

As far as i know Rotel RQ970BX has a MC input too, but it is more expensive
(about 3-4XNAD price).

Creek offers a OBH8 and OBH8SE for MM and high output MC
cartridges, as well as a OBH9 for low output MCs. I believe the prices are
$200, 300, and $250, respectively, but those may not be accurate.
The OBH8SE has upgraded parts and includes the $100 OBH2 power supply
upgrade.

Regards
Eddie

Creek also manufactures a good phono preamp. I think it's called the
OBH-12, not sure.
