Ok dumb question. When I buy a phono preamp, will no longer use the phono input of my preamp processor and will instead use the CD line level inputs correct?
Best Way for my TT to reach my Pre-Amp!?
I have a Rega Planar 3 that sits a few feet too far away to reach my Marantz AV7704 phono stage.
whats the best way to reach my Marantz preamp processor with the short 2 foot phono cables that come with the Rega?
It sounds like rca extensions are going to cause too much capacitance and there is also a difference between phono extension cables and rca cables. Please teach me!

That discussion was about the Marantz two channel integrateds, which are different beasts from their surround sound processors. I didn't see any mention of the AV7704 in that thread. My suspicion is that the phono pre in the AV7704 is not going to be as good as the ones used in their two channel integrated amps. |
Holy crap! Did not even notice this is AV! Of course the phono stage (and everything else) in that will easily be massively improved with anything, absolutely anything- other than of course any other AV type component. Wow. I mean wow. AV. Well the good news, only place you can go from here is up. Everything everyone said about how much better you can go, multiply by 10. |
^^ stop being a snob. everybody starts somewhere. by his avatar they look to be my sons age 25' ish. they are the future of this hobby. the better AV''s usually knock off the extra amps when phono is selected and go into discrete stereo mode. Craig - I would go to bestbuy or a like store on black friday and just pick up a 6 foot anaconda like looking rca cable - 8^0 . try it out and return it. you can't hurt anything. |
