I look at it this way... The amp is on all the time regardless of the source. And if the amp can't deliver the goods you'll never realize the potential of the phono stage.
agreed..no sense having a great phono stage with a mediocre amp...so both are important as is the table, cart, arm, pre-amp, interconnects, speakers cable, ect. As Al says "A chain is as strong as its weakest link" no truer words spoken.
