ART DJ Pre II 2 - Phono Preamp power cord?

I see. Thing is, as far as I know, a better preamp, would be, say 200€, 400€, 500€...

A better psu system, or a 9v battery would be 20€-50€...

I have 15 albums and 15 7", most used or new pressed from digital. I can not afford, or justify yet an expensive pre-amp, but a psu upgrade, if simple, i could do it, if it is easy and cheap. what do you guys think? i trust your expertise. and thanks a lot dor your time and help.

i still need to buy stylus cleaner and an rca switch, and some more used records. THANKS AND PEACE FOR THE WHOLE WORLD AND ALL THE FORUM NERDS.

Lolito: Mind you, I'm not claiming, that such an experiment couldn't be interesting - or that those, who have heard an improvement in combination with a better power supply, would be wrong. I just don't think, that a DJPreII plus power supply upgrade would yield the best performance for the price.

what preamp for 100€ would you suggest?? i can buy something second hand too... greetings from Flatland.
 
Ok, so either Denmark or the Netherlands, depending on the definition.

And regarding the pre-amps, you could for example consider Art's improved (compared to the DJPreII) Precision Phono Pre(amp) - or if you'd like to spend even less, I think DieNadel(.de) still offers the Dynavox TC-2000, which is a little Vincent in disguise. And if you'd really be curious about regular vs. battery power supply, you could also try the new Dynavox TC-5B - but I don't yet know, whether that's a good model. All three new/unused.

Whereas I won't comment on used, because I can't properly read Dutch and even less so Danish - and also have no idea regarding the best Danish and Dutch sites for used stuff. But I'd deem it very likely, that one should be able to get a better used model than the DJPreII for ~ 100 Euro.

Due to problems in the past in forums, I can not express my location... internet privacy issues and modern life I guess. I was hacked by a user who came from who knows what organization.

Thanks a million for your expertise and advise. I will research those and see. I can not spend much money, but I can research about it and maybe in 12 months upgrade, meanwhile I can enjoy the research. I will study those models. About second hand, doesnt matter much where I am, I can find them myself in local 2nd hand websites. Normally all can be bought 50% price used... So a unit of say 300€, could be 150€ used... I assume. Thanks again, really appreciated.

UPDATE: the units you recommend have a very good price, I can spend a bit more, since it will be in the long term, and do not want to do lot of upgrades, but maybe something more substantial, that is why I thought a 20-30€ psu could be a good idea...
 
Lolito: If you can spend some more, the iFi Zen Phono would be a good candidate.
