No phono input on Jadis but want to buy tunrtable

You will need a phono pre amp and cables to run it into auxilary inputs on jadis. Plus the turntable, arm , cartridge. Pretty tough to do on a 500 dollar budget.Should get at least a decsent record brush for starters as well. Cheers

Mofi is correct, provided you want to use a Moving Magnet cartridge. Cheers

Hmmmmm.....

Who is correct?

Mofimadness says "Make sure you buy a Phono "STAGE" and not a pre-preamp which just boasts the output from a MC cartridge"

and

Has2be says "You will need a phono pre amp and cables to run it into auxiliary inputs on jadis. Plus the turntable, arm , cartridge".

Do I need a pre-amp?

OK.... Thanks.

I am first going to look for a good ( but not exquite ) stage. Do you see anything that you could point me at so I can start to learn about what traits are impportant in the stage?

thanks guys !

Not all phono stages are capable of use with low output moving coil cartridges; it depends on their sensitivity. You can use one of the inputs on your integrated amp for the phono stage. You do not need a separate preamp, you have one inside the integrated amp. I would buy a used phono stage on Audiogon and a used table and arm also. At this price range you will probably be better off with MM or high output moving coil. The Denon 110 is a good choice in the latter.
