Pro-Ject Phono Box DC

Great little, no frills, pre-amp. It fit below all my wires behind my amp. As it happens, the turntable I was given had more issues than I was prepared to spend to fix it and I sent the pre-amp back to Crutchfield for a refund but it worked fine and was a perfect size for my needs.

Very Nice Phono Box DC

This Project Phono Box DC works perfectly for me! I purchased a Bell'O turntable cabinet for Christmas and wanted to place it in another room from my Yamaha receiver(Crutchfield). After speaking with Charles F. and later Gage, they helped me decide to purchase this product and it works perfectly! The turntable is on the top shelf of the Bell'O and the signal goes through the Phono Box (moving magnetic) to a splitter where two other electronic players are also attached. Then the signals are transmitted 45 feet through through and around walls to reach the Yamaha amplifier. I was worried that the turntable sound would not be great due to the distance and would have a hum, BUT it sounds great and I am playing all of the old vinyl records plus the other two players sound good also. Since the Phono Box does not have an on/off switch, I have it, the turntable, and the other players connected to a power switch where I turn everything off when not in use!! Thanks Crutchfield, Charles, and Gage!

Turntable Taken Out Of MothBalls

Took My Micro Seki DD 35 out of mothballs after 25 years with MA 3005 Cartridge....Placed on MM Setting and Listened to Dark Side Of the Moon...Beatles Mono 2014 LP's... Frank Sinatra And Miles Davis LP's....Listened for 6 hours.....Well it's simply outstanding Phono pre Amp without investing big bucks! Listened to on Technics Tower Speakers and JVC Receiver....which are nothing over the top but still plays better than any CD for sure!!

I'm happy

Like a lot of people I am currently rediscovering vinyl. And like a lot of people I have a pretty nice receiver that has no phono input. So , no problem get a cheap preamp & plug it into any auxiliary input so you can play a record. Not so simple! There are a lot of choices out there & having a decent preamp does make a big difference, and yes you can overspend & get some of the ones that cost an exorbitant amount, but for now, just getting back into this hobby, this was a great compromise. Seems to be good quality build & sounds great . I'm happy!

Fine piece of equipment

Sturdy and well-built. Heavy. I was very surprised with how much improvement this gave me over using the phono input on my receiver. I'd been listening to records with a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Espirit for about a year now using the phono input on my budget receiver. Now that I hear the difference I realize what I've been missing and I can finally get the most out of my turntable. This single piece of equipment has given me the biggest boost in sound quality for my system. It's well worth the money.

Sitting by the Christmas fire and drinking in some nice warm analog

I purchased second hand a Pro-ject Debut Carbon turntable and it came with a phono-preamp, but to my dismay, as I dropped the needle carefully upon the vinyl, there was no sweet music. I had to do some trouble shooting, though I am not very tech savvy, so I looked through the internet and found Crutchfield. I share my situation and within a day I had a response. I then took a chance and purchased the Pro-Ject phono Box D C. I have been enjoying vinyl again and it is this side of Coolsville. Mind you this is not a perfect phono preamp, but then again it cost $100.00 and I know that doesn't come close to buying the best preamp, but this performs to my needs in a beautifully analog way.

Small but powerful

I bought this with the hope that it would sound Ok. Just a little something to up the signal and provide a connection. What I get is a little, heavy box that really reminds me of how analog vinyl should sound...CLEAR. No hum or hiss, just clean amplified playback. With my Blu-Rays the volume on my moderate Harmon/Kardon Amp is at a volume level at about -30 to -26. In comparison this phono box registers at about a -34. Very surprising transparent volume for analog, let alone a phono-line. Worth the money.

What a Difference!

This was my first purchase from Crutchfield, and I couldn't be more pleased. Excellent value for the price. Preamp was easy to install, and once I tweaked the changes, audio never sounded better. My original 70's and 80's albums sound great again and new vinyl is incredible! A few details: Be sure to adjust the preamp to either MM or MC to match your cart. You'll know impedance is wrong if you hear a flat, dense sound. Also if your TT has a ground connection, connect to the preamp's ground to eliminate any hum or static. TT is a TEAC TN-400S with an upgraded Audio-Technica 440 MLB cart. Connected as a part of a Sonos system; TT to preamp to Connect Amp to Bowers and Wilkins CM 6 bookshelf speakers.

Big sound in a little box!

I've never owned a discrete phono preamp before - I'd always been using the one built into my Denon receiver. When I upgraded my receiver, I discovered that denon stopped including a phono input and grounding post so I had to buy one. I own a Pro-Ject record player so this seemed like the best fit. I've noticed a big upgrade in the sound quality of certain albums, especially newer pressings that aren't 180g. Some albums that used to have a harsh sizzle in the very top end have been completely cleaned up thanks to this preamp.

I purchased this unit because my Denon receiver did not have a phone input. Bought a similar unit from another supplier and had to send it back. Very tiny, thin music reproduction. This unit is terrific. Sound is full with depth. Terrific value for the price. Could not be happier. Should have gone to Crutchfield up front! Next time I will.

Great value.

Back in the day, all decent receivers and integrated amplifiers/preamps had two phono inputs. Now, you are lucky to get one. I have two turntables, and was tired of switching cables to share one phono input. I purchased the ProJect, not expecting too much given its price point, plugged it into the Aux input of my integrated amplifier, and tested it with both a monophonic Audio Technica AT3/LP high output moving coil, and a low output Denon DL103 (using the MC feature). No hum, great sound. I can highly recommend this inexpensive little box. As always, Crutchfield sent the item within two days. These people are great to deal with, and I am happy to buy from them.

Great Advice; Great Product

I was using my A/V sound system with a new turntable using an older, cheaper preamp. The sound quality was awful and there was a noticeable hum even though the turntable was grounded. I was going to purchase powered speakers that included a phono preamp. Crutchfield advisor, Eddie, instead suggested trying this Pro-Ject preamp. This saved me $400 in addition to needing to find good speaker placement alongside the 5.1 system speakers. It is a perfect solution. The sound quality is excellent and there is no hum. This is an extremely well-made product. Solid and surprisingly heavy. Beautifully packed and effortless to setup. I'm really happy with the quality of the Pro Ject Phono Box.

My record collection comes alive again!

I am happy to report that my Pro-Ject Phono Box DC arrived very promptly from Crutchfield and I was able to install it very easily. My Marantz SR 6004 stereo receiver has no phono input jacks and so this Pro-Ject Phono Box absolutely "fills the bill" allowing me to once more access and play my LP record collection, allowing me to hook-up my turntable to my Marantz receiver. I played several records on my turntable, hooked up to the Pro-Ject Phono Box DC, and they sounded terrific through my Marantz and main family speaker system. I'm delighted with this Pro-Ject Phono Box and would recommend it highly to anyone in my similar situation. Also, the moderate price is another big plus. Kudos to Crutchfield for carrying this really fine home audio product.

Missed my vinyl

Because of a move, major remodel and then purchase of my new Denon receiver with no phono input I hadn't listened to my albums for over 3 years. Kyle suggested the Pro-Ject Phono Box DC for the necessary preamplifier. It took minutes to connect and figure out how to operate my turntable with my Harmony One which is a miracle since I am techno-inept. I listened to album after album and was blown away by the sound through my ancient Klipsch Heresy speakers. All of the things vinyl nuts say about the fullness and warmth of sound were so evident I was truly a bit surprised. I never duplicated my albums with my CD collection s so I am having a literal blast (apologies to my townhouse neighbors) getting reacquainted.
