The Best Phono Preamps: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) · Audio & Headphones
Behringer Microphono PP400
Competent for the money, but almost everyone who buys it already has a phono stage built into gear they own.
Why we skip it: Moving magnet only, fixed gain into a fixed load, with no MC support at all

The Best Small Audio Mixers for Podcasting: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) · Audio & Headphones
Behringer Xenyx Q802USB
A capable little analog PA mixer that gets bought for podcasting constantly and disappoints for the same reason every time.
Why we skip it: The USB output is a single stereo mix, so both hosts land glued onto the same track with no way to fix one voice afterwards

Behringer U-Phoria UM2
The bestselling bargain that costs you more in hiss, headaches, and re-records than it saves up front.
