Works very well, the difference in sound was incredible. Enjoy playing my albums even more. Does a good job for an item at this price point and the service from Crutchfield is bar none.

The Phono Box resolved me satisfactorily

The Pro-Ject Phono Box MM has reasonably improved the signal from the turntable to the receiver. Notice the difference in bass signal. Without the Phono Box MM, I had to equalize the bass, and sometimes without satisfaction. Now with the Phono Box MM solved the problem

I replaced an existing phono amp with the Pro-Ject Box MM. Unbelievable sound quality with no hum. My old vinyl records sound great. Easy plug and play and took up very little space. Highly recommended.

Pre-Amp for my Turntable Output

This worked great for amplifying my old Technics turntable output to a standard receiver input. The receiver I had did not have a phono input, thus the need for the pre-amp. This box was a breeze to set up.

Geezer and vinyl

I thought the problem in my sound system was going to require surgery. I did not want to open up the amplifier and remove a malfunctioning RCA port just to find out that I was on the wrong path. I purchased the preamp to boost the phono signal so I could enjoy listening to my 2000 vinyl records. I plugged in the preamp to my turntable (Bang and Olufsen) then plugged in the preamp to an unused audio port, and voila, I have beautiful music.

Dust off those record albums!

This turntable preamp (under $100) is what you need considering a preamp is no longer included in many home theater receivers. The Phono Box is easy to hook up. You will need two sets of two audio cables (RCA type). Played the Beatles Second Album and the sound was crystal clear. Would have given it five stars except there is no on/off switch. You have to unplug the power supply to turn it off.

Great pre-amp!

The Pro-Ject preamp is much better than I thought it could be. It is night and day from the built in preamp on my old turntable and works even better with our new Pro-ject turntable. supper easy to set up and is small enough to hide behind my receiver. It is also made very well, no cheap plastic here!

great sound

the new sony receivers do not come with a phono input so i needed this to listen to my vinyl. the crutchfield advisor went above and beyond in helping me pick out this phono pre amp. i wasn't sure what kind of cartridge i had in my old turntable and crutchfield was able to look up the model number on an 30 year old turntable and found the manual and emailed me a copy too! i hooked up the pre amp to the video input on my sony 1080 receiver and the turntable output and ground wire to the pre amp. the sound is fantastic! there is no audible hum or static just whisper quiet until i drop the needle. it works great. perfect for any receiver missing the phono input.

Pro-Ject Phono Box MM

My first phono preamp. Seems to work great. Only can compare it to the Denon receiver built-in PHONO preamp as my HK receiver has no built-in preamp; hence this purchase. I had Denon's high-end receiver, 4520, and this preamp makes the one in the Denon seem like absolute junk. Maybe appropriate for a $200 receiver, but out of place for a receiver costing a thousand or thousands. I've come to this conclusion because this box isn't very expensive, yet works great, and the way a phono preamp should work.

Pro ject preamp helped save an old system.

My daughter has been bitten by the vinyl bug. I decided to set up an old system of mine from the late seventies in her bedroom. I had an old SAE 50wpc power amp and a Nikki pre-amp and technics automatic turntable not being used for years stored in the basement. After setting everything up, I discovered that the phono section of the preamp had a bad right channel. I decided to purchase the Pro ject phono preamp and run it through the Nikko's aux. input to bypass my preamps phono stage. Everything worked perfectly, the Pro ject provided a clean signal with no added noise, and the turntable grounded to it with absolutely no hum. My only problem now is my daughter "borrowing" my records. Actually that doesn't bother me at all , I'm glad to see her appreciating good music on a good format for a change!!

Enhanced vinly fidelity in a box!

The Pro-ject phono box MM gave good boost, smoothness and clarity to my receiver and turntable. The receiver already had a phono input, but I was not happy with it's out put. The phono box pre amp gave it a much improved lift of sound fidelity to my vinyl. I was happy to see that I was not the only one who bought the phono box even though I already had access to a phono input in my receiver. I was about to get a whole new turntable. It was recommended that I try this first and the results were quite satisfying. Thank you Crtutchfield! I am so happy with the quality of suggestions I get from your team of audio technicia

Nice to hear the smooth sound of vinyl again.

Perfect. After some careful thought I decided not to get rid of my collection of vinyl. I had replaced most of my 33-1/3s with CDs but not all. After 15 years or so I dusted off my old Pioneer turn table and fired it up. To my surprise my current Pioneer VSX-D711 amp does not have a phono input. Of course the next step was to visit Crutchfield.com. As usual I found exactly what I needed. A phono preamp. I believe it was delivered the next evening. You can't beat that.

Good Value

Bought for my daughter to use with her new Yamaha Adventage receiver, and Monitor Audio S1 speakers. Turntable is an old A-T Linear Track SL5, cartridge is an A-t an A-T P-Mount AT-331LP. Sound is good thought the phono pre, actually, better than I expected for the price (open box). Not as refined as the Cambridge Audio 651, but hey, that's twice the price. All in all, a good option for a low cost Phono pre. I would recommend it to anyone looking to move up from a built-in phono pre for the price.

Good Phono Preamp

Bought this to go with a new Pro-Ject turntable. Assumed my amp. had a phono stage, but it didn't. Didn't want to spend a lot, but didn't want junk either. This unit fits the bill perfectly. Performs great. This unit was $99, but it can be found for less. Completely satisfied.

So-so performance

I own a Yamaha R-S700 receiver with which I'm very happy. I thought I could bump the performance of the phono stage a bit with this product. Although the preamp did increase the volume slightly, the quality of sound/fidelity was noticeably worse. I suppose I could spend more on a different/better preamp, but I"m happy with what I have, knowing what I know now.

I purchased a turntable to use both as a devise to transfer vinyl recording to digital format and for playback connected to a receiver, unfortunately the info regarding the turntable did not mention that it did not have a built in preamp.

Upgrade with this unit

I've found the phono stages on modern receivers to be weak (not nearly as loud as the other input signals) and even though my present receiver has a phono input I figured the Phono Box would be an upgrade over what was in the receiver, and for the price, why not give it a shot. It was a definite improvement in signal strength. My turntable is the Project Debut III and it is a perfect match. If you decide to do this upgrade do not plug it in to the receiver's phono jack, plug it in to the DVD, Aux, Cable, Tape input, etc. As usual Axel my Crutchfield rep was great.

Phono Pre-Amp

I had been searching for a reasonably priced AV receiver which included a phono pre-amp. Yes, I actually do still play my vinyl. Much to my disappointment there are few, if any, offerings. It was suggested that I consider an outboard photo preamp and the Pro-Ject was selected. The device works perfectly and provides appropriate RCA in and out jacks, a phono ground and power connection. It is solid, with a metal case and appears to be well constructed. The attractive thing is its size; it is a small unit which I was very easily able to tuck into my cabinet, behind the receiver and out of sight. There are no controls on the unit, so there is no need for access. It was also reasonably priced. The Pro-Ject that I selected is for moving magnet cartridges, but I saw other options for those who use moving coil, or want both.

Excellent!

This is the best money I've spent in a long time! The unit is compact (I keep it on a shelf behind the CDs) and extremely easy to hook up. More important - and I am thrilled by this - it has enhanced the sound of my LPs and I'm talking late 60s, early 70s recordings: Beatles, Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks as well as Maria Callas and Glenn Gould! I'd recommend not thinking twice about this product. I trust you'll be as delighted as I am. Happy Listening! As always, great service from the Crutchfield folks.
