Suggestions for an AV receiver with phono input.

Denon makes nice ones... I have an older one, don't know current models.

Try the Outlaw 450, can't remember it's replacement. I think one of them had a built in phono stage.

Try a used Pioneer VSX 56TXi or VSX 59TXI.Both upconvert to component video,have outstanding MOSFET amps(unlike their current models),Have analog direct bypass modes and decent phono stages.These are among the few receivers that I have been able to listen to in 2 channel.I currently own both.You can pick up a nice 56 TXI for about $600(2005 MSRP-$1700) or a 59 TXI for around $1200(2005 MSRP-$4500).

Outlaw does have Phono input, very good reviews and I think it is $600
