Where to Connect a Phono Preamplifier into a Line Stage

You’re close. Very close. 🤗

One man’s sand is another man’s toilet....old audiophile axiom.

Hey miller,
Do you now understand why your response was wrong, or do the guys who corrected and know more than you about audio need to explain it to you??

It starts as a mountain being blasted. Combing through the rubble you find a suitable boulder. You get to chiseling. Great big chunks coming off. No idea what it is. Eventually the chips are getting smaller, a shape is beginning to take form. Only when its clearly recognizable, only then is time for sandpaper. Coarse at first, progressively finer and finer, until its time for a liquid polishing compound. Last step, oil or wax, fills in micro scratches leaving a high gloss finish.
This project here, I would put more in the chainsaw on a stump category.

It's because you're wrong, isn't it....
