## Description

Review: Works well - wow! I never expected it to work as well as it does. Turntable to AV system via RCA worked pretty much first time. I had to fiddle with the grounding connection a couple of times but now its stable and grounding works silently. The gronding connector is a knurled thumb Screw type that was really tight but its the only and proper way to use the units ground which def exists! Sounds very good but I'm guessing if may not compare with some bigger, better and more serious pre-amps. I'm happy enough and at this price it's well worth a punt IMO. Mine is powered via a standared uk 3 pin plug
Review: Way better than it should be. - Wow, this works better than expected. I got this to try different setups here. I do have a Behringer UFO202 to adapt my turntable for AirPlay to my HomePods, which does an ok job. However, adding the separate phono amp has made a noticeable improvement, and it sounds much clearer and louder than the built-in amp. There are other options out there, but I’ve come to like and trust the Behringer gear. They give good performance at sensible prices.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this preamp work with mm and/or mc turntable cartridge?**
A: This preamp is mainly designed for moving magnet (MM) turntable cartridges.Ben Jessen

**Q: how do i use the ground?**
A: I use one of these Behringer 400s with my Project turntable, which comes with a ground lead to minimise the notorious Project turntable hum. Alone it does not entirely eliminate the hum. My amp doesn't have a ground connector. 
However, I then also ran another ground lead from the preamp to a close-by heating radiator bleed valve. This eliminated any trace of hum or interference completely!
So the trick is to ground the PP400 itself AND the turntable. Incidentally, the PP400 is a superb entry-level preamp, very Very small. At the current Prime price it's an absolute steal.

**Q: Is there any way to reduce the amplification? I'm getting terrible distortion from my un-amplified turntable.**
A: There is no way of turning it down, it maybe that your turntable is outputting a line signal which is causing the problem.

**Q: Have a technics 1210 mk2 and JBL 305 active speakers. will this pre amp be enough to get good quality through my speakers?**
A: The simple answer is yes. Your speakers are active type, thus incorporate a power amplfier, & should have phono/line in connector inputs to connect to the pp400, which just boosts the signal from a turntable to a line-in stronger signal.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent value for money, good bit of kit
*by B***O on 26 January 2017*

Spent a bit of time looking after realising I would need a preamp to hook my planar turntable up to my Sony 1050 AV receiver. I was close to forking out for a much more expensive one until I noticed this was regularly bought with the planar. So glad I did, really easy to setup, just plug and play. Sounds amazing even at low volume. Haven't needed to earth either. Basic with no equaliser but i use my AV receiver for all that. Nice and compact too.
