Can I hook-up the output from a phono pre-amp to this?

Yes. Besides the built-in phono input, it has 4 other line level analog inputs.

Sorry, I don't know. I use it only for amplify the TV sound with two also excellent Bose roof speakers.

I have recently purchased a new receiver and found that higher priced ones will have a phono input. There are preamps that can used - reviews of the lower priced ones left me skeptical about quality and frequency response, so I decided to spend the money on the receiver. (Denon 3313)

Only if you need more that 2 inputs. You would need a phono preamp however if you were using a turntable.

James, you can connect you phono to an inexpensive phono-preamp and then into the aux. port. The phono has a very high impedance which would present a mismatch and therefore very low volume and probably garbled. The TCC TC-750 (Price:$43.50 + $5.49 shipping) should easily be good enough for a quality sound.

You would need a phono pre-amp to boost the phono output signal to a level that would work with one of the receiver's audio inputs (e.g., tape or CD). Pyle makes one for about $15 and it is sold by Amazon. Some models cost many times that. I don't use one, so I'm not in a position to make specific recommendation, but some of the other reviewers make recommendations. If you are looking for a new receiver and want to play records on an old-fashioned turntable, I would suggest keeping things simple by looking for a receiver that is advertised as having a phono input. I recall one of the reviewers made some recommendations of receivers like that in the same price range as the Sony.

I'm no expert but you'll probably need a pre-amp if your receiver doesnt have a phono input and or was built in the two decades. If you dont have a pre-amp then your record will be fine but you wont be able to hear it and you may damage your receiver. It would be great if you can find someone to loan you one just to test it.

Of course you can connect a turntable to this amp. That is what I have done. However, you need to first connect the turntable to a pre-amp (or soundstage) to boost the signal from phono level to line level. You can get a pre-amp for $20 or even less. No need to spend a lot on this component.

If the receiver does not have a pre-amp section you will get almost no sound from the turntable. Yes, this will work. You will need to put the turntable RCA jacks into the phono input and plug the output from this box into a input into the back of the receiver (CD, line in, or aux or something similar to that) be sure to plug in the power cube and switch the button in the front to phono.

I am not sure about directly plugging into the amp, as most phono's need a preamp.But I would try it anyway. You won't hurt anything.

Dear customer, pre-amp is not necessary since it is an integrated amp. but you need to add a phono preamp to play turntable.

Or you could check out what are known as "head pre-amps" that will amplify the signal from the cartridge so that it meets the Denon receiver's minimum input requirement.When I was shopping around for a new multi-channel receiver or a simple stereo pre-amp/amp the salesman recommended that I go for a stereo pre-amp/amp since it would have a phono input, but the usual receivers don't.

Yes... line-out of DAC to preamp-in (or any of the line-level inputs) on your receiver.
1859068
probably not...what this unit does is amplify the signal from a turntable to a tape deck output because most newer amps don't have a source input for phono.

Make sure you are connecting to the phono input with ground wire. If you don't have a phono input jack on your receiver, you will have to buy a pre-amp in order to hook it up through an auxiliary port. You can buy a pre-amp from Amazon for about $25. Hope this helps.

It will not work without a phono preamp. The output of the phono cartridge is to low. If you purchase a phono preamp and purchase some adapters you could make it work.

Not really. Hard to find one with a proper phono input these days. Basically means you need a phono preamp to apply the right EQ to the phono signal before going to any of the inputs on this receiver. There are affordable preamps, about $50, I think.

I imagine you've already figured this out, but this unit has no phono pre-amp. You'll have to either buy an outside pre-amp for your old turntable (better quality, usually) which in turn plugs into your receiver or buy a new turntable that has its own pre-amp and regular RCA outputs for this unit (and most others I've seen).
