Vinyl offers a unique listening experience, and a phono preamp is an important component in getting the best sound reproduction from your records. An audiophile-grade preamp can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars, but there are accessible alternatives that will enhance your listening experience without a boutique price tag. The DJ Pre II is the most affordable phono preamp from ART, and was named Best Budget Preamp by Popular Science magazine in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Beyond its high-quality, low-noise circuitry, the DJ Pre II offers more control of your sound. Boost or cut by up to 10 dB for proper gain-staging into the rest of your system, engage the low-cut filter to eliminate rumble, and switch the input capacitance between 100 and 200 picofarads (pF) to find the response that best matches your cartridge for the most pleasing tone. Offering clear sound and essential control, the DJ Pre II is a compact, convenient upgrade to your sound system that costs less than an afternoon of digging through the crates at your favourite record store.
