there are entry level phono input boxes sarting at 100 dollars and tube phono inputs for thousands and everything in between. music direct and audioadvisor sites can give you some ideas. how important will lp listening be to you? how much do you plan on budgeting for a turntable and phono cartridge? i would want the components to be matched but if you are just going to play some lps now and then there are turntables with a phono preamp built in. the good thing about audio is there are lots of options. hope my ideas helped.
Receiver with no phono input: Solutions?
After some research and discussion, I'm going with the Pioneer Elite VSX-32...it's well reviewed and recommended and it fits my bugdet for home theater, but doesn't completely fit my needs.
There's no phono input...and I've read about phono stages, but unfamiliar in their application.
Is this expensive? Is it practical? How does this sound?
I do plan on adding another amp to this system to power my studio 20's...can a secondary amp have a phono input? If so is this the best option and what's available for around $500-$600...and I don't mind purchasing used.
I admit, I'm new to all this and don't really have a clue, but I'm trying to learn from the knowledgable people on this site. I'm trying to break into the high end audio and video arena and need some help. Thanks everyone.
