Well I don’t need the preamp box but I take your point in any case, the Rotel amp I’m using has a very nice font amp as part of it. A lot to be said for using Fono amps, there are many and some have adjustments which can change the sound characteristics of your turntable. I like my Aiwa as it has a removable headshell, I have a couple of different head shells I use and each has a mounted cartridge with its own stylus, there’s one I use for general stuff and another I use if I’m sampling 12 inch dance recordings which I collect,,.
