the simplest option is a preamp with a phono stage.
Try usaudiomart. Adcom, Parasound, Vincent, under $500, lots of choices.
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
