AV receivers with Phono input

Phono

— dedicated input for connecting a turntable. The peculiarity of the signal coming from such players is that it cannot be directly output to the amplifying stages, the sound must first be processed using the so-called phono stage. AV receivers with a Phono input have a built-in phono stage, so you can connect a turntable directly to this input. However, first you should make sure that the phono stage is compatible with the type of cartridge installed in the player (MM or MC).
