thanks for the replies narrod and mingles. i'm already using separates, outlaw preamp and an adcom gfa-7000 amp. the denon phono end sounds decent but kinda flat compared to my digital rig. low gain maybe? there's nowhere to audition gear around here, so i'm hesitant to buy something and hope it sounds good when fedex delivers it.
built-in receiver phono preamps, how good are they
how good are the built-in phono preamps in the eighties receivers? i'm using the mc/mm phono input in my old denon dra-600 receiver for a phono preamp. denon dl-110 homc into the mm side, denon 300 and jvc dt-200e lomc's into the mc side with a jvc ql-y66f turntable. should i upgrade to something like an azur 640-p, would i hear that much of an improvement in sound quality? any opinions, comments, or advice would be greatly appreciated.
kindest regards, sam
