Not two preamps, but what you need is an outboard phono section. Your turntable output goes into the phono section, that unit's output goes into your pre-amp as a line input to your preamp. The phono section correctly equilizes the signal and boosts the gain to a line-level input. There are MANY choices these days, in all price ranges.
RCA output on a turntable?
So I'm wondering what contributes most to the high quality sound of going analog with a turn table. Is it the phono connection, or is it the vinyl record, or both?
The reason I ask is because I would love to get a turntable, but my preamp (AES-3) doesn't have a phono input, so my only 2 options are replace my preamp (which I am strongly opposed to since I've only had it a few months) or find a turntable with RCA outputs. Are there any decent turntables that use RCA, or is this not a feasible option?
