If there is a volume control, there must be a buffer otherwise the output impedance would vary with output level. So its not really a phono stage you're using but a phono preamp.
Phono stage as preamp
I'm going with an all analogue set up for my system, so I want to replace my regular preamp and just use my phonostage as my only preamp. I have the EAR 834P with the volume knob, so I suppose it will work. I'm just wondering how many people have this kind of setup and if there are any disadvantages to doing it like this.
Thanks,
J
