No Phono input! J Miller 01-22-08

I'm upgrading from a 20 year old stereo to a "home theater surround"
receiver..

Did realize until I got it, that there's no phono level inputs! I still
got a turntable, and maybe 40-50 vinyl disks.

Anyway, does anyone make an adapter for phono level to normal input
level signals?

You need a phono preamp:

Sure, you just need a phone pre-amp. Radio Shack has one for $30:

probably on ebay. J Miller wrote:> I'm upgrading from a 20 year old stereo to a

get a "phono preamp"

or you can use your old stereo just as a phono preamp. Put its selector
on phono, and run its "tape REC OUT" to an available input on your new
receiver.
