Will this model allow a phono input to the preamp to capture LP audio by the PC? Are the electrical levels compatible?

It only has the 3.5mm input jack. While you could get an adapter cable with the red/white RCA on one end and the 3.5mm plug on the other, you would still have an issue with the output level. Older stereos with a "phono" input had line level amplifiers, or preamps, on that input channel, because the sound level out of a record player was different than that of other devices. If this is not the case for yours, then an adapter cable will work for you, using the "portable" input.

Hooking this unit to your phono input will result in RIAA EQ being applied twice to the signal. You will get the boost but the sound will be terrible. You'd be also running the risk of saturating that input and damage it. The same company sells a MM/MC preamp for slightly more. I'd buy and use that instead.

Yes, there are 4 inputs available but for a phono you will probably need a preamp.

Yes, it should. Normally a phonograph would have a dedicated LBP pre-amp; however the Kinter has enough amplification range I'm sure it would easily handle the pre-amp roll as well.

Yes It should work. You want to connect the turntable to the pre amp and then connect the preamp to your amp.

Very few receivers these days have a Phono input, and this one does not. You will need to get a preamp to take the phono output and amplify it to line level, then use either Audio 1 or Audio 2. I can highly recommend this: TCC TC-750LC BLACK Professional Moving Magnet Preamp This unit also works very nicely to plug into a line-in jack on a PC sound card for ripping vinyl to MP3s. The only turntables that will not require a preamp are some newer ones that have it built in.

Yes, indeed. If your need was like mine (no built-in pre-amp on the turntable and no specifically dedicated phono input on your amplifier) you will find this unit to be the perfect solution to needed amplification of the turntable's output. Don't forget to hook up the ground wire as directed or you may wind up putting unwanted noise into the audio.

You can hook any pre-amplified sound source (CD, tape, mp3 player) but a record player (phono) usually needs a preamplifier like this: Pyle PP999 Phono Turntable Pre-Amp

I highly doubt the phono input will work. The phono inputs are spec'd for turntables which require completely different electrical specs than all the other inputs like tuner, tape, and auxiliary. In other words, the phono inputs will only work with turntables (phonographs).

If your turntable does not have an internal preamp, then you will need an external phono preamp prior to input into one of the audio inputs on the receiver. Decent ones are available for about $50: http://www.amazon.com/ART-II-Preamplifier-Outputs-Switchable/dp/B000AJR482

Yes. A record player (turntable) that uses a cartridge with a stylus that generates electricity via a moving magnet (or moving coil) requires a separate pre-amp (with RIAA/NAB equalization) for the phono circuit before plugging into a line level input such as on this unit.

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.

As others have said - if your PC has a digital audio input (either coax or optical), then this device will convert your L/R audio signal into a digital signal for the PC to process. However, your phonograph doesn't have true L/R audio outputs (even though they look the same). The signal levels on your phonograph are very low and must be sent through an appropriate pre-amplifier. If your "analogue music centre" has tape-monitor (or REC) outputs for L/R audio, you could connect this device to that output and digitize the signal. The only part of the system you'd need at that point is an audio card for your PC with a toslink (optical) or digital coax input.

i actually use another rca line input and use the pre amp from my turntable with an in line booster (between turntable and 5000) and it works much better than the phono input on the 5000. i was getting a humming noise using phono input. your setup might be different though. either way my vinyl sounds awesome now!

This phono preamp is specifically for record players. The signal level and EQ is very different from other sources.

Yes they have a phono input via minijack. However if the turntable has no preamp then the signal level from the pickup cartridge on the pickup arm will need a phono preamp which is normal. Amplifiers with a 'phono' input have these built in but self powered speakers never have this. These speakers are very good for vinyl.
