Behringer PP400 Ultra-Compact Phono Preamp for Turntables with RCA and TRS Outputs

wow! I never expected it to work as well as it does. Turntable to AV system via RCA worked pretty much first time. I had to fiddle with the grounding connection a couple of times but now its stable and grounding works silently. The gronding connector is a knurled thumb Screw type that was really tight but its the only and proper way to use the units ground which def exists! Sounds very good but I'm guessing if may not compare with some bigger, better and more serious pre-amps. I'm happy enough and at this price it's well worth a punt IMO. Mine is powered via a standared uk 3 pin plug

Wow, this works better than expected. I got this to try different setups here. I do have a Behringer UFO202 to adapt my turntable for AirPlay to my HomePods, which does an ok job. However, adding the separate phono amp has made a noticeable improvement, and it sounds much clearer and louder than the built-in amp. There are other options out there, but I’ve come to like and trust the Behringer gear. They give good performance at sensible prices.

Spent a bit of time looking after realising I would need a preamp to hook my planar turntable up to my Sony 1050 AV receiver. I was close to forking out for a much more expensive one until I noticed this was regularly bought with the planar. So glad I did, really easy to setup, just plug and play. Sounds amazing even at low volume. Haven't needed to earth either. Basic with no equaliser but i use my AV receiver for all that. Nice and compact too.

Absolutely first class ,great price

The brand is well known in the industry and was recommended to me. It enables me to play vinyl through my Sonos port. It increases the volume sufficiently for me but certainly doesn’t compare to my hifi amp. I believe the issue is Sonos so won’t criticise the product. I’m glad I didn’t pay more as it would not have made any difference.

Was ok but i found the sound from the lps a bit tinned. Could have been the amp though? Better off with an amp with built in phono stage

Excellent piece of kit does what it says on the tin

It sounds very nice considering the low price, and works with no audible hum, with the turntable's ground wire connected to the ground terminal (this was screwed closed very tightly and needed loosening off with pliers) It seems to be quite low output level though: the turntable is a lot quieter than the other line level devices connected to my amp. (I'm using it with an Ortofon Om10 cartridge).

The build quality is v good. I am feeding the output to edifier powered speakers. Amplification is also v good. In fact, I had ceramic cartridge, so the amplification was too much, causing clipping noise. I fixed it by making an external attenuator using 47k potentiometers. Then I got excellent results, amazing clarity. Would have been good if the manufacturer gave that simple addition. Then you can easily adjust amplification for magnetic or ceramic cartridges, making it more versatile. Grounding that brass nut is very important to keep the hum to minimum. It is tightened toi much, so I needed a pair of pliers to loosen it. Nice product overall.

The device works extremely well and it brought to life my turntable that I thought I will never use again because of these modern receivers

Utmärkt

This is a perfect amp for my vintage turn table. Easy to install and no crackling noise. Can recommend!

Easy to hook up and works very well. I think the sound is great through my Bose system and it means I can now listen to all my old LPs. It doesn’t have an on/off switch so I plugged it into my power bar which has an outlet with a switch.
