I did allot of research on the top preamps for under $200. The choices were between The Pro-ject Phono Box S2, the Schiit Mani and the ifi Zen preamp. Two things that really set the Pro-ject apart from the other two are: the Pro-ject has an on/off switch on the front of it. You may feel this is no big deal, you can just plug it into the "switched" outlet of the amplifier. The problem with that is whenever you turn the amp on, if you don't turn the volume down, they'll be a huge pop threw your...

I recently upgraded my turntable to a Pro-Ject Pro X2 with a Sumiko Moonstone cartridge. I listen through Elac Uni-Fi 2.0 UB52 speakers driven by a Denon AVR4500 receiver/amp/pre-amp. I suspected the AVR's phono pre-amp was not on par with the turntable and speakers so I decided to add a dedicated, affordable, phono pre-amp. I narrowed the field down to 2: the Pro-Ject Phono Box S2, and; the Schiit Mani 2, based on price, various reviews, MM/MC capabilities, etc. The two pre-amps are very sim...
