Be careful with the phono input label. I know that there are models of E.A.R. integrated amps that have phono inputs, and a phono position on the source selector switch...but this is still just a line level input! I guess that they just did this for labeling convenience...but you will still need a phono pre-amp. I don't know if there are other manufactures who have done the same thing.
Do I need a phono amp if I own an integrated amp?
I am new to vinyl and am learning the ins and outs of owning a high-end turntable. The most important question is: do I need a phono amp if I have an integrated amp? Can I just play the table off the integrated amp? Please answer.
Also, which is better for beginners, the Pro-ject Debut III or the Rega P2?
