Going from one system to another....confused


I would like to utilize the phono stage on an older Denon dra 75vr receiver and incorporate the signal into another system...however it only has "processor loop" in/out, L\R with metal connectors...would the "out" signal essentially be the same as a "pre-out"? Or should i use the tape out l\r rca jacks?....

Getting a separate phono preamp would do much better here for two reasons. One, usually separate phono preamps allow for better sound and more cartridge and loading options than ones built into receivers. Two, the more complicated signal path with more electronics in the single receiver box usually is not best for the quality of the signal.

Can you afford a separate phono stage? If so, I have an almost new Pro-ject tube phono box II with upgraded tubes for sale if you are interested. You can email me via the member lookup under the Community header in the right section of the home page.
