Looking into purchasing my first turntable and had a question in regards to a phono pre-amp to connect to my dac/pre-amp. It obviously doesn't have a phono stage. So I need to buy one. I have been looking at all kinds of different phono pre-amps. Some affordable, some expensive and was wondering if they are all pretty much the same? I mean it's a simple concept, take a phono signal and convert it to a louder more powerful line level signal. Correct?
So what is the difference between a $500 phono like this https://avahifi.com/collections/for-vinyl-lovers/products/vision-q-phono-preamplifier
compared to a $130 one like this? http://www.schiit.com/products/mani
