Best Budget Turntable < $500.

Thanks for the info.

I'll have to do some research on source selectors and phono pre-amps. I don't want to spend a ton but I want to ensure the source selector does not reduce the sound quality of my CDP by using the selector vs plugging the CDP directly into the amp. Also, want to ensure the source selector does not degrade the sound quality of the turn table as well. It sucks having to deal with an amp that allows for only one input and no phono stage; however, it is supposed to sound amazing with my speakers for 2ch.

Take a look at Niles Audio. They make high end quality selectors. I use an amp selector and cannot hear any degradation of sound.

Check ebay as they sometimes become available. My amp switcher sells for $150 and I picked it up on a bid on Ebay for $10. The guy begrudgingly sold it to me.
