I am looking at the Music Hall MMF-5 turntable, which I believe does not have any phono pre-amp, etc.
I want to clarify my initial post, as I may have used some confusing terminology. My Rotel RC 1070 has a "phono input" according to the Rotel website. I was assuming that "phono input" "phono stage" and "phono pre-amp" all referred to the same thing - a device that converts the small phono signal from the cartridge to a signal readable by the main pre-amp.
Based on the above responses, I am assuming that as long as the turntable does not have a built-in phono stage or phono pre-amp, I would simply connect the turntable to my RC 1070 phono input.
