SSP-800 doesn't have a phono stage how does one hook up a turntable, I just received 100 LPs from a friend who was cleaning-up his basement and want to experiment.

add a phono pre-amp of choice. ofcourse you'll need a record player as well ! :POriginally posted by wettou"Technology is a drug. We can't get enough of it." -
Needledoctor has one of the widest range of phono preamps, turntables, cartridges, and accessories.

Isn't that dependent on the cartridge output? The analog single ended input on the rear of the SSP-800 would work as a phono input with enough gain? Might still need that phono preamp?Comment

Absolutely not. No cartridge, wether moving magnet or moving coil, will have enough output into a standard line in. Don't get me wrong; you'll hear sound alright if you plug your turntable straight in...it'll just sound like shit. (That does not include cheapie turntables with a phono pre-amp built-in to the unit). Do yourself a favor a pickup a nice phono pre-amp. I had a Cambridge Audio pre-amp for a while and thought it was a nice piece for the money...Originally posted by Sharp 1080The second place winner is the first place loser.

Line level inputs require around approximately 150mV minimum. Moving magnet cartridges average between 3-5 mV output, and moving coil cartridges lower.Originally posted by Sharp 1080

You know I forgot about the RIAA equalization curve and the cartridge's output. It's been way too long since owning a turntable! Phono preamps are readily available to choose from and go from affordable to expensive. I still have all of my record albums. I also preferred moving coil to moving magnet but that's just me? :BOriginally posted by SrrndhoundComment

There are some nice moving magnet cartridges but I too prefer moving coil.

I like moving coil. I have a Sumiko Talisman and a Dynavector Ruby, which I run into a transformer stepup into a Fosgate tube preamp. I have yet to patch it all into the SSP, but I've got to get that happening again. Vinyl in 7.1!Originally posted by Sharp 1080Comment

I like the Dynavector Ruby. I've heard it with several different turntable/arm setups and it seems to still be popular. Have not heard the Talisman yet. SSP and vinyl should be interesting.Originally posted by SrrndhoundComment

How about Rega! Any one has experience with the SSP-800 and turntable how does it sound!Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil, and you're a thousand miles from the corn field."Dwight D. EisenhowerComment
