Can I run my CD Player through a Phono Preamp?


I only have a single source and am currently running through a passive controller. There seems to be lots of phono preamps out there in my price range. Will the gain be too much? Perhaps a MM vs. a MC would be better?? If this is not possible, I'd be very interested in the technical reasons why - always trying to understand and learn from you folks. Thanx in advance.

Wouldn't recommend it. You'll probably overload the phono preamp, and you certainly don't want to apply RIAA phono equalization to a CD signal!
bad idea. the phono pre does a kind of EQ on the signal, boosting some frequencies. you will have seriously distorted sound.
