If you like the sound from the phono output but want more volume, then perhaps you can look into a phono pre-amp as a starting point. There are several good ones out there and you don't have to spend an arm and a leg, either. This might be a good, cost-effective alternative, especially if you're happy with the rest of your equipment.
Noobie looking for advice
I recently purchased a Stanton T92USB to transfer my vinyls into MP3's. I just srated getting into purchasing vinyl. I was drawn into viynl because of it great cover art and the desire to have a huge collection that others can admire. Being new to the "analog" sceen i am not certain what kinds of sound system upgrades i will need to experience my records to the fullest. To clear things up i have my turntable RCA's inserted into the AUX input located in the back of my Sony home theater system. The reason for this is the receiver lacks a PHONO input. I get very low volume and crappy sound. I would like to enjoy my records but i understand that i have a lot of work ahead of me. I need to start building a system, but i need direction on where i should start. I do not have a lot of money so a budget system would suit me best. Please any suggestions will be helpful.
Thanks
