Where to Connect a Phono Preamplifier into a Line Stage

Also, some preamps (such as the Jadis JPL and JPS2) have an additional tube in the CD input circuit to soften the sound of CD players.  Not needed or desirable for phono playback.

It would depend upon the layout of your preamplifier circuit.

HWY61 is spot on with his response.

YES!

We don’t know the model of your preamp, right ?

Some designers of the Line Level Preamps can offer different gain for different line inputs, but if you have something like this is must be stated in the manual. Here is a line level preamp with this option: CD and AUX can be 0db or -20db as you can see, actually this is a first preamp i’ve seen with this option.

Normally they are the same and not always called "cd" or "aux", more often the are just "input 1,2,3 ..."

"CD", "AUX" or "Tape" inputs associated with oldschool preamps.
