Whats the worst with phono inputs

scottyboy76

My creek a50ir integrated has taken some of the sting out of having to give up our adcom stack, sounds good with direct and cd.

However the tt sounds muffled in the high freq, might just be the way its going to sound.

But im tempted to bypass my rega mini pre and hook tt straight to the aux/phono input.

The fact its labeled part phono is why i even consider it.

My question is, if i do, and creep the vol. up, what might be the worst that could happen, could it damage something?

I checked the sales flyer, and there are two optional plugins for MM & MC pickups. If you don't have either plugin, then there's no RIAA EQ happening.
