Since I wasn't using a receiver, I had to get a separate pre-amp to go between the turntable and the monitors. I started with a $25 no-name preamp. It was terrible β€” harsh, thin sound that was awful to listen to. That one went back immediately. Then I bought the $25 Beringer pre-amp. It sounded much better than the no-name β€” much warmer and richer β€” but it had some weird electrical issues. Every time I plugged it in, my speakers made an awful popping sound. They would also make a harsh click when I shut the entire system off. They only made the harsh popping and clicking when I used them with the Beringer pre-amp and I didn't get any of that when plugging in digital sources. After a year of this, I felt that the Beringer was potentially harming my speakers over the long term. I've come to deeply appreciate my studio monitors and I don't want to damage them over time. Out went the Beringer. I browsed for a better preamp went with this $100 Pro-ject over the ~$75 Pro-jects because I liked the magnet/coil switch on the back. That gives me flexibility to try different cartridge types in the future, which means I'm less likely to have to replace this preamp in the future. I also appreciated the solid build quality and lack of LEDs. It seemed like a no-fuss piece of equipment so I went for it. I've had it playing in my system for about a week now and, in short, this thing is wonderful! It doesn't have any of the weird popping and clicking that the cheap Beringer did, and that's a relief as it's the main reason I upgraded. But also... it sounds FANTASTIC. I was expecting somewhat of an improvement in sound quality, but wow β€” I didn't think a better preamp would this much of a difference! The sound is cleaner, much more detailed, seems to have a bit more range to it, and individual instruments are easier to make out. The bass feels much more controlled, and the sound goes in my ears more smoothly (if that makes any sense). The most striking difference is in drums β€” drums sound much closer to what you hear when you out and listen to live music. This preamp sounds fantastic and I don't see myself needing to replace it again in the future. I'm sure there are better preamps out there if you're willing to spend more money, but I also doubt there's as much of a difference between this preamp and the more expensive ones as there is between the cheap Beringer and this one. This is where the buck stops for me, and in the world of audio, there's a lot to be said for that. If you're looking for quality audio without delving into the whole "audiophile" world, I think this preamp is a great way to go.

Properly grounded and hooked up to an analog power amplifier, the sound is clear with no noticeable hiss or humm. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible, simply incredible!! *by C***. on March 16, 2026* I bought this box after receiving numerous recommendations to do so. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed. In fact, I was blown away. I recently bought a new AT LPW50BT turntable and wanted something to ensure excellent sound quality, after adding this to my set up, holy smokes it’s alive!!! This pre amp took my setup from great to incredible. It’s small yet very powerful. The only change I would make is a gain knob, so it’s a little more adjustable other than that it’s perfect. Took my setup from upper lower level to solid mid level audiophile sound. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pro-Ject Phono Box DC MM/MC Phono Preamp with Line Output (Silver) - Monoprice 1.5ft Premium 2 RCA Plug/2 RCA Plug M/M 22AWG Cable - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/1174056-pro-ject-phono-box-dc-mm-mc-phono-preamp-line](https://www.desertcart.no/products/1174056-pro-ject-phono-box-dc-mm-mc-phono-preamp-line) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
