You will need to have a phono stage pre-amp to play this through your receiver

Yes you need a phono pre-amp for a moving magnet type cartridge. If you plan to up grade your phono cartridge to a moving coil type then order a pre-amp that is selectable. You will just plug this preamps out put into one of your aux inputs on your Denon receiver.

I have a denon myself.. If you have an aux switch you may be able to use your receiver.., If not get a pre amp.. This turn table is awesome.. i highly recommend it.. Best value out there..

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.

The phono input on your reciever is designed to take input directly from the turntable. Using the preamp basically boosts the signal so you can use a regular aux input on your reciever (including tuner probably). Depending on your reciever the preamp will probably give a "cleaner" amplification than your receiver's phono input amplifier anyway.

No, you do not need a preamp. There is a dedicated phono input. I took a snapshot of the page from the manual, but can't attach it here. You can download the PDF manual at onkyo's site and look at page En-18. :-)

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

Your speaker wires still go to the receiver...The pre-amp is only for your turntable...

Aux! Phono pre amps boost the signal to regular line level. If you plug it into phono it will be very loud and may blow speakers.

I use a Bellari VP 130 Tube Phono Preamp...but used a different tube than the one that came with the amp. Sounds great.

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

You have to connect the 651P output to your aux input in your receiver, do not connect it to the phono input.

I also have the same question but with a different sony receiver. Did you get it to work or did you have to buy a new amp.

i do not show that this receiver has a phono input. so the answer would be no.

Although Stanton doesn't explicitly reference a preamp, there is a ph-line switch for that purpose. I have mine set to line and connected to an awia mini-system with no phono input and it's working great.

There is no "phono" input on this receiver, so it doesn't have a preamp. You can use another RCA input (I am using "Tape"), but that will only work depending on your turntable, and if it has a built-in preamp. If your turntable has a "phono" out or phono switch/setting, it will work. I have one connected and it works fine. Otherwise, you will need to buy a little $20 preamp. If you are only looking to power your speakers for a turntable, this is probably not the receiver for you.

I agree w/dbrdoc43 - search amazon for "preamp" and read the reviews. A preamp will increase the signal from the ttable so it will be suitable for a modern receiver. Old school amps/receivers had built in preamps; newer ones don't.

No output is good into amp or mixer. Pre-amp would allow additional flexibility with eq and gain adjustments.

No problem. I use in a one-channel antique jukebox for the phono input. Very few of the modern ones have a phono input anymore and they need a pre-amp. This is a road-warrior amp, and I have used several of them for different projects over the years. One takes the output from my surround sound unit and powers speaker pairs all over the house. Another goo feature is that the off-on switch stays in the position you leave it and can be used in a switched power outlet of a master amp or anything else you want it to respond to. I keep coming back to this amp and have been very happy with them...especially the price and availability. No problem. I use in a one-channel antique jukebox for the phono input.

You will need to use a preamp with this receiver, there is no phono input. You can buy a phono preamp starting at about $20. If you don't use a phono preamp, the sound will be very quiet and you'll have to crank the sound all the way up to hear it at all. Some turntables have a phono preamp built in, in which case you won't need one.
