Hello,

can you give me some advices about using an external PreAmp for playing Vinyl via DDJ-1000.

- ART DJ Pre II - ca80€

- Shiit Mani 2 - ca 230€

- Phono Box S2 Ultra - ca 230€

- every below 250€ is OK

Headshell Ortofon NIghtclub MKII

Music : Techno / House / Drum and Bass

I`m not an audiophile Person ... but everything better then the internal preamp would be welcome. (see https://forums.pioneerdj.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360031675451-Pioneer-DDJ-1000-phono-audio-quality-really-poor /   )

I tested Phono Box S2 Ultra but it lacks for my ears of "deepness" or overall bass sound. The Engineers from the "Phono Box" wrote me that is designed more for "HIFI Sound" not for "Clubsound".

any suggestion / hint is welcome ... unless based on own experiences ! 

thanks
