Art DJ Pre II

Product arrived on time, worked as advertised and I received 2 follow up phone calls. That is over the top exceptional as the item cost under $100. That is just not done anymore.

worked great!

Worked great! Plugged in and everything worked great out of the package. The level adjustment is a great feature to allow you to balance the sound with the other source components.

Awesome Preamp !

I have purchased a new turntable and was looking for a decent and not too expensive Phono Preamp. Found some ideas on the internet and for the buck and features this one was a winner. Sweetwater has delivered another great piece of gear to my house. The setup was a very self-explanatory. There is a brief setup diagram printed on the package. Within 5 minutes I was able to play the LP on my new turntable connected with my stereo amplifier via ART DJ PRE II. I especially like the Gain knob on this preamp. It definitely helps to push the audio level a bit higher. No additional noise was detected. Crystal clear quality of sound. I am giving it 4.5 stars because of the lack of the Power switch. The unit is powered through the included power adapter. Once you plug in the power adapter to the electricity source the ART DJ PRE II stays ON all the time. I was concerned about it, so I have called Sweetwater. Got an explanation that this type of gear can stay ON all the time and that's normal. Well, it does stay ON all the time in my house, and so far nothing goes wrong. But I still wish there would be an option to turn the unit off. Solid build piece of gear. Metal case definitely build to last. Love the overal small size of this preamp. You can even hide it behind your turntable if you want to. Overall, a VERY GOOD experience with this preamp. If something would go wrong with it I would definitely buy another one. Excellent quality for a VERY reasonable price. If you are shopping for a good quality Phono Preamp then get this one, while they still make it ! You won't regret your choice. ;)

Fast, courteous sale.

The equipment delivers what was said. No regrets so far.

ART Preamp

After a recent purchase of a new receiever, I discovered that most manufacturers are no longer including a phono preamp in the chassis. I have an excellent Kenwood turntable that I thought would then take the path of my laser disk player. But I discovered this preamp, ordered it, hooked it up and my recored collection that I haven't touched in 25 years sounds terrific. For the price, you can't beat this little wonder.

A great buy

This unit surprises, the cost understates its performance.

Works great, and it's good to hear my old vinyl again. I like the adjustment, but the blue LED is a little too bright.

ART DJ PRE II

Low price, fast delivery and friendly service. The ART DJ PRE II works great. I am glad to have this unit with the output control.

Does a great job affordably!

This little no-frills box from ART proves that they've done it again! I am a professional digitizer, and I digitize many of not-so-well-cut vinyls from small pressing houses. Easy to set up, effortless to operate, it brings preservation of vinyl to an affordable level without sacrificing quality. A must for anyone serious about platters.
