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?

Depends on whether the integrated amp has an input specifically labeled "phono". If it does, then you have a phone preamp built in, and you do not need an outboard one.
