    With all this talk going on, thought I'd butt in :p

    Nik, do you still want that jacket? It's sitting in my closet....doing nothing at all. Going over to Ben's house in like 2 weeks and I can just drop it off at his place. You can give me whatever you think is an even trade for it (audio-related).

    Well, I'll get back into bikes......just a matter of time.

    Someone should buy this preamp already, that way you can work on your current setup.

    Sorry, but what is a phono preamp? I know what a preamp is, but what is the phono part? Does that mean that it simply has RCA L/R inputs? Is it for a TT?

    Thanks

    It means it's got the necessary circuitry to properly receive a signal from a TT. ;) As an example, it's got what a GTP-450 does NOT have.

    You want it? We can put it on your tab. :p

    Turntables are an analog signal, as opposed to a digital signal(such as a CD player). Due to this, a turntable puts out a very low level signal, and requires an additional gain stage to boost the signal before the pre-amp. A phono pre-amp provides this gain stage so that the pre-amp is being fed a higher level signal.

    A CDP (as well as cassette decks, DVD players, 8-track etc etc.) puts out a much higher level signal, so this additional gain stage isn't needed.





    I'm gonna pass on this for now. I think I'm going to end up picking up an Adcom GCA-510 from another member. I was shooting for an integrated ideally, so it should work very well for me.

    Good luck with the sale.:)
