CAT's may be ordered with or without a phono stage. The majority of used ones which I have encountered do have a
phono stage. The CAT's integrated phono stage, as well as the entire unit, is considered world class. It would beat even most other separate phono stages, except perhaps the very finest separate units such as the Aesthetix IO.
