You need the HK 3370. I have one those I found at yard sale for $50. Pull the old fashion hoop pre-out / amp-in. Has phono, everything.I am using a Harman Kardon PM665 right now as a preamp . It's kind of petering out . I need phone too . Did I mention cheap . By the way , I'm cheap .
That's a great point . The HK is necessary because my main pre-amp (Adcom GTP-450) is full . I just need some extra inputs plus one for my Turntable .Those JBL L250's are too good for a "cheap" preamp.
You have hit the nail on the head here .The PM 665 does have a nice pre amp section, pre out/main in, and flexible phono stage. I had one, the main problem was the many tiny switches need cleaning often. The amp stage was solid too- I used it with different pre-amps with good results. I should have kept that thing!
replaceCheap preamps have issues with their self image especially if they've been used.
Your H/K probably has a decent preamp section. Are you just looking to replace or also improve?

In that case you could just get an Aux Input expander for the Adcom and simplify things by disconnecting the HK altogether. No need for another separate preamp if all you need are a few more inputs. I think someone makes a phono preamp with extra switchable Aux inputs, maybe that would be the ticket here if your Adcom doesn’t have a phono section.
The GTP-450 has five including the processor loops. You can bypass all but the HK's selector switch by using the phono preamp alone. Run tape out to one of the line ins on the Adcom.That's a great point . The HK is necessary because my main pre-amp (Adcom GTP-450) is full .

You mean something like this. It has Phono and three aux inputs. It also comes in Silver.
