Thanks so if I prefer to keep my marantz separate what is a good preamp with phono option that is relatively compact? Flexible on price if necessary thank you!
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
