A package will not come with a phonostage but your Pioneer has one. If you decide for some reason to get a modern amp you will more likely than not need buy a phonstage . The way to avoid nuying one is to make sure the amp is an integrated or preamp with the typically more expensive version with a phono stage. If you stick with anything made before 1985 or there about it will always have a MM phono at least.
A turntable?
I haven't owned or used a turntable in a long time. Having purchased some new gear I would also like to invest in a turntable as well. I have planty of albums from my youth that are taunting me from my basement. What do I need to know? What should I look for? I know there are different drive types, arm shapes and other options that can tempt one to spend a LOT of money. I am considering a Rega table as they appear to be affordably priced for me but do not know anything about stage amps or MM/MC etc. My reciever is nothing fancy, Pioneer Elite VSX-94txh, whatever I end up with needs to work with that. Thanks for being willing to share your knowledge.
