Turntable use with Mcintosh MX-132


Can a turntable be used with an MX-132? If so what input terminals should I use? Aux? There are no PHONO terminals on it.

Not directly. You will need a RIAA phono equalization stage at the very least. You will also want to check output voltage on any stage you are interested in and input voltage capacity on the MX132 to make sure they are compatible. Be careful about stage gain, too. Some are high gain for low-output MC cartridges and others have lower gain for MM carts. Depending on your budget, you could insert a second pre-amp with a phono section between the table and the AUX inputs. This gives you an adjustable gain into the MX132.
