Preamp Phono Stage v Standalone + Linestage


I am thinking of changing preamps, and am wondering peoples thoughts on pros and cons of using a Preamp with an Integrated Phono Stage vs a Standalone Phono Preamp (that then feeds a linestage preamp, yes?)

I have never had a standalone phone preamp

Hoping for a lively discussion and also recommendations and favorites

Lester,

There are good internal and external phono stages ranging from a few hundred dollars to over $10,000.

What is your budget? What is the rest of your system? Help us out a little.
