Technics 1200 turntable, do I need a Phono Pre?


Sometimes good things happen... My girlfriend is packing for a move, comes across 2 boxes full of her old records, some good stuff. Says I can "borrow" them. I don't have a turntable so my brother offers to ship me his old DJ table a Technics 1200.

I tried researching but can't find out if it has a built in phono pre. I believe he has an MM Ortofon cartridge on it. Can anyone shed some light?

If I need a phono pre then I will get a NAD phono pre for $130 and be up and running.

Thanks in advance

The Technics does not have a built in phono preamp. I will assume your amp doesn't support a phono input either.
