What Creative Audio says

If you’re like most, you plug your turntable into the ‘Phono’ input on your amplifier or receiver and don’t think any more about it. To do so would be doing a great disservice to your record collection, however. That ‘Phono’ input is connected to a special device called a phono preamplifier and it is actually a critical component in the vinyl replay chain. The integrated phono preamplifier included in most amplifiers and receivers is of very basic quality. A dedicated, outboard phono preamp such as the NAD PP 2e offers an immediate and significant improvement in sound quality. The NAD PP 2e has always been a huge favourite at Creative Audio. It is one of those rare budget hi-fi components that is a true overachiever. For an entry-level turntable rig, the NAD PP 2e is essential.

What NAD says

The NAD PP 2e Phono Preamplifier, available in Winnipeg at Creative Audio, offers superb performance in a clean and simple package. Perfect for the budget-conscious audiophile, the NAD PP 2e’s moving coil/moving magnet input selector provides different phono cartridge options. This allows the PP 2e to be paired with any turntable, giving consumers unlimited choice in building their system. The PP 2e’s Auto Power Down feature saves energy by automatically powering the PP 2e to OFF when not in use. Built to be the best companion to one’s turntable setup, the PP 2e breathes life back into the vinyl you love.
