Linestage vs. Preamplifier....


Folks, 

I am wondering the difference between the two?  They seems to have quite a few similarities, however I am somewhat unclear as to why one is called the linestage and other preamplifier.  

Thank you all for your time and happy holidays!

 A preamp has a built in phono preamp. A line stage does not. You can (and is sometimes better) use a separate phone preamp with your line stage. You can choose a separate phono preamp that is an excellent fit for your phono cartridge.
