Run the outboard phono stage into the line input, not the phono, definitely!!!! I'm sure that compounding the RIAA EQ won't sound right and may overload the phono input of the Klimo. Good Luck. :)
Phono Stage Question
here is my analog setup, I run a Sota/SME5/Cardas Heart into the Mc Coil Input of a Counterpoint SA9, I run a Well Temperered/Sumiko SHO into the MM of the Sa9.
I am trying to run a Gyrodec/ittok/Lyra Clavis direct into the phono input of my Klimo Merlin Pre. There isnt enough gain to run the Clavis. What would happen if I ran the Clavis into an outboard Phone Stage (ie Gold Aero db45) then into the phono input on the Merlin? to make a long story short, can you run a RIAA eq signal into another RIAA input? Or would I just run the Gold Aero signal into a line input of the Klimo?
thanks
