This preamp is surprisingly good quality for the price. I bought this unit because I scored a cheap untested Marrantz turntable and didn't want to spend big dollars on a preamp until I knew it worked ok. I will NOT be replacing this unit. I have had much dearer preamps that had detectable noise at high volume. This unit has none! You do need to connect an Earth wire ( my turntable has one fitted as do most decent players) to eliminate Earth hum, but that is expected. Have only powered the unit on battery so far but with the low current draw I suspect it will last a long time on battery as other reviews have suggested. Buy with confidence! you can pay 4, 5 or more times the price for a "better quality" unit (and I have) and gain nothing.

Just using it with a battery, runs for weeks even though I forget to turn it off. Low noise output. If you have things setup correctly then no hum either. Great for recording those old albums on my computer.

I bought a Pro2 for bench testing turntables , it fitted the bill perfectly with its small size and is very practical for the purpose. I was not expecting it to sound as good as it does, infact compared to the base line project, cheapy Rega etc, I prefer this ! I suspect they are all pretty well the same circuit design. Not often does a good piece of gear come at such a reasonable price. If you ve got a basic turntable and amp without a phono stage, I doubt you ll do better ...

Got out my old LP player, plugged it in and connected to my sound card, and could play my records! Easy as that
