So I just picked up the Technics SL-B2 second hand (obviously) and I want to get a nice phono preamplifier. Price preference is under 2K but I can wait if anything in that range would be an utter waste.

At the moment, the brand reputation and price point of the Pro-Ject Phono Box E is where I'm at. Although it is unclear as to whether or not this unit will give me what I need for this TT and whatever I may get in the future.

Also, I'd like to change the needle/stylus. It has a Technics 070C cartridge fitted but I'm not sure whether or not I should just replace the needle or the entire cart. Also, I'm absolutely in the dark about general compatibility with tonearms, etc.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance, vinyl masters.
