Do I need anything additional to my setup for my pro-ject debut 3 turntable?
Complete amateur that inherited the below setup from my uncle:
2 floorstanding speakers -> McIntosh MC402
McIntosh MC 402 into Bel Canto DAC 3
I want to add my pro-ject debut 3 to this setup. Currently it is plugged into an integrated Marantz PM6004 that I would like to keep for a second setup.
Looking at my options, the McIntosh has a phono input but plugging in the turntable to it doesnt do anything. The Bel Canto DAC 3 doesn't really have an input option (optical and USB are being used for the TV, SPDIF and AES/EBU are digital so wouldn't work for the turntable?)
Any guidance would be great thank you
If the Marantz has a pre-out you could use it as a line/phono preamplifier into the Mac power amp (connect the TT to phono and the DAC to a line input). If it does nor have pre-out you might be able to add an inexpensive preamp (fed by the tape-out of the Marantz and then connected to the power amp). Not ideal, but it would get you going (here's an inexpensive $50 preamp with two pairs of RCA inputs). https://www.schiit.com/products/sys
