thankyou everybody for the advice & ideas,--now i can start to streamline what my needs my be.
First & foremost --i enjoy the diy aspect.
i build my own turntables(this doesn't help with dangerous voltages in amps i know), how ever i'm prepared to take it slow & maybe start off with a refurbish of an old trashed unit.
Mainly i would just prefere something to use as a pre-amp -with the option of being able to add in other after market phono sections,older units do not provide much connectivety(this might be a problem but i'm not sure yet as i've sold all my past gear/& am starting from scratch/which is not a bad thing).
1)So an older unit that can be repaired & used or converted to a pre/ & upgraded.
2)A newer unit based on old designs/with more switching facilities.
3)A new kit.
4)To have the option of using different phono sections.
5)I plan on using solid state power amps.
I'm not really locked into anything just yet/i'm at the research stage.
thanks for the help so far--happy holidays everybody.
