New audio setup?

Ynos,

I am suspicious that you are playing with the forum with some 
of your replies. Am I right?

If not I apologize. My thought is that you find a mentor in a local
AV store or forum and start learning from him/her. (Won't be a her
by the way). You have some good Schiit so far. But who advised you to buy the Freya when you had an integrated??? 

Find someone to take you to the next step.
I did and with patience it has paid off!!

Hi firstnot, I assure you that I'm not playing with the forum. I may come off short & to the point but that's just who I am and if my questions just sound too ridiculous to be real... Sorry they're real.
With all the reading I've done and YouTube videos I've watched reviewing products, none have taken the time to actually break down what each component does. All I ever heard from people is that you just need three things to listen to records - the player, pre-amp and 2ch amp. Turns out that's not entirely accurate.

Anyway I just want to thank everyone here for the helpful advice, especially auxinput for breaking it down for me.

I've now ordered - 
MANI PHONO PREAMP
+
VIDAR POWER AMPLIFIER

+1 ynos.

+2

You don't need the Schiit.  And I'd pack up the turntable unless you have developed a record obsession (apparently not, because you cannot even use the thing in your current set up).

Plug in your phone.
