dumb question...I apologize


I am setting up a backup system in vacation home. I already have an amp (bryston 4bsst)and a line stage preamp. I want to incorporate my turntable to take advantage of my 3000+LPs....so....if I purchase a phono pre amp, can I feed it's output into the line stage, which I want to use for CD input and tuner input, or will the gain be too high, and it's output should go directly into the amp? Do I need to purchase another pre with a phono stage? (MM)

Home system, needs no help: McIntosh 402, ML 390 and 380s, REL Stadium III sub, Martin Logans, Magnum Dynalab, MIT cables and interconnects. Quite lovely, actually.

I should know the answer to this, but it has been so long since I have used a 'table....

Your input is most appreciated.

thanks

ok....that is helpful. Any gain issues to deal with or will the pre look at this input as just another ? I think I am remembering all of this. Jeez....LPs.....turntable. Am I too old for this?
Thank all of you who responded. Excellent guidance. Now .... off to shopping. Helping the economy, etc.

Thanks again, guys. Moving the LPs.....well....for starters, a select few boxes for the first trip. I hate to split them up...immediately I will want to listen to the one that is 430 miles away..........
