My parents swear that they used to be able to plug the turntable directly into the receiver, with no "phone-pre." Now, I hear that I have to get one for the turntable to work. What is the difference, and when do you need one versus not need one???
most built-in phono pre-amps are cheap. You will get better sound out of a dedicated phono pre-amp provided: your turntable is better, you have an open input on your receiver or pre-amp. Prices start at $100 and go up. Good luck!
