You might not get enough volume using a phono preamp with a passive preamp. It all depends on the gain of the phono preamp and the output of the cartridge that you are using. The remote will work on all the sources that are being used!
What is a non-active pre-amp stage?? Are their advantages to this design??
I am considering an Conrad Johnson CA-150 integrated amp which offers a "non active pre-amp stage"
Need and explanation of this design. What are its pros and cons?? Does it provide better sound quality or performance, than an "active pre-amp stage" ?
Any comments about the C.J, CA-150 integrated amp sound quality??
Thank you,
S.J.
