This phonostage/preamplifier is very good for a system of separate components, allowing you to feed both your turntable and a DAC/streamer/etc into a single-input amplifier.

The phonostage is a clear step up from sub-£100 offerings or an internal phonostage in a turntable or active speakers. The headphone amplifier output is surprisingly good at this price level. The tone controls are also very handy.

All in all it’s exceptional value for money and a great step up from an entry level or internal preamp. It’s very a flexible and high value bit of kit and I’m only selling it after making a significant upgrade.

Used for three weeks before upgrading to a more expensive integrated amp.

Cost on Amazon: £130
