A phono preamp and a passive preamp does not have enough voltage to use with an amp directly. You need an active preamp!
Bzzzzzt…..wrong. But thanks for playing.
I have been using phono stages with passive preamps for years. It’s more about how passive friendly your system is. As I type this I am listening to an SPL Phonos into a Hattor Audio passive preamp. No problem with driving the amp to full power.
