It also says this in the features:"The Head Amplifier for MC cartridge uses a 4-stage symmetrical push-pull circuit. It enables an extensive noise reduction of better than 77dB signal to noise ratio, which more than satisfies MC cartridge requirem... 
Help hooking up a new amp
@mrdecibel, I did as you suggested but didn't like the sound. It sounded "thin" to me, for lack of a better word. I switched back from the rec out to the pre out. I like the sound better this way. My question is why is it bad or at least differen...

It was a guy who sells speakers but isn't really an amp dealer.  I suppose I could ask him.  
Help hooking up a new amp
So, my Belles came yesterday, and I hooked it up. I like it a lot so far. It was a demo, so it is broken in, but it has been in storage for about 6 months, so the dealer said it might take a day or two to open up. It sounds good now, but I’m not t... 
Help hooking up a new amp
If I decide I like my Yamaha's phonostage better, would I set it up as TT>Yamaha>Belles Analog in? If I just bypass tone control on the Yamaha, will I then be hearing the "sound" of the Belles without any influence from the Yamaha?

@soix I have a pair of Quad 23L floorstanders. 
Wells Audio Majestic (no HT Bypass) vs. Integrated w/ HT Bypass - Help!
@millercarbon I'm getting my content from an Apple TV, so there aren't RCAs to plug into the integrated amp.  Just HDMI to the AVR. 
Wells Audio Majestic (no HT Bypass) vs. Integrated w/ HT Bypass - Help!
Thanks for all of your feedback. @soix , I'm thinking about doing what you are suggesting because the Majestic doesn't have HT bypass. @millercarbon , I'm confused about what you are suggesting.  If I'm playing a movie through my AVR, won't the AV... 
Turntable Upgrade Help
Thanks @sonicjoy  and @reubent  for your quick replies. I do like the Music Hall. I might look into the 7.3.  @reubent , I do need the 651 for my video needs.  All of the reviews and specs that I've read say that it has great "guts" for reproducin...
