my interface is the Scarlett 2i2… I think it sounds pretty good for my tastes. I’m not trying to do it pro level or anything though. I just want the convenience of being able to listen to my records on the go. I do think it works well. I followed the instructions on the site here and it wasn’t bad at all.

Thanks Marc. I’ll look into both.

that one looks amazing but way too expensive for me.

I use the phono preamp in my Yamaha RX-A780 receiver. I tend to purchase things one time and use them for many years so if I upgrade to a separate preamp I will need to do a lot of research and it will be a somewhat stressful decision. Currently I’m thinking about the Mani 2 or the other one I read about on this site that is a good competition for it. I like the idea that the Mani is made here in the US but that’s not always a necessity. Just a nicety.
