I need a cheap but decent quality phono stage for my girlfriends first turntable. It is a Trio KD1033 and will be running into Ruark MR1 mk2 speakers

Thanks,
Phil

Keep meaning to give this one from Fisual a spin - they do decent enough cables and for £14.49 the punt is worth it ;)

Im about to list my Pro Ject Tubebox. Its worth around £50 and I can sell it for £50 delivered? I was going to put it in the AOS swapshop.

Let me know if you’re interested and I will get off my arse and get some pics sorted sooner rather than later?

I've a Behringer PP400 you can have for gratis and free of all costs, if you want, PSU included.
It's surprisingly good.
Just PM me your name and address if you want it.

OK, Phil. I'll post Mon/Tues this week.

My vinyl days ended a year or so back and I've still got a few accessories lying around - stylus brushes, a carbon fibre record sweep brush.
Would those be handy?
