the two posts above are correct: fono-stage goes into a line input. but the gold aero db45 may very well not have enuff gain, either. 45db is getting borderline for lo-output mc's... you could get a mc step-up transformer for yer klimo's fono-stage. these are specifically designed to plug into riaa stages, *not* into line-stages - they do *not* have riaa equalization, only gain...
