Phono.. does this mean?

Thanks folks. I have a Yamaha RX-V2300 I have used for years. I want to make a dedicated system for my TT someday, but now is not the time. I will have to search for the owners manual.

Not sure what you mean by MM cart? Dont most "Used" TT's have everything I would need to plug and play?

Thanks all.. Let me say for folks... I started in Car Audio at age 16, and over the years tuned a car audio system that is awesome. When I bought my house in 2003 is when I got into Home audio of course. I started with the Axiom speaker set-up and Yamaha amp to watch movies, and listen to music. I have always wanted to build a dedicated music system which I will someday, but of course the house expense, along with the 20K decline in pay in this economy its not in the fore front as much. However I do have some music in vinyl that I dont have in CD and would like to play it.

I will be honest and say I have not used Vinyl since the late 80's so yes the ins and outs of TT's are foriegn to me. So I do appreciate the advice. Once I get the table I am sure I will come to you folks for update needs, and as I build my dedicated system for the office.

Ohh for a budget TT I am right on the Rega right? My LP's are Tori Amos, Dave Matthews Band, Rachael Yamagata, Hope Sandavol ect...
