Connecting Turntable to RSX-1056

[merlock]

Hey guys,

I've recently been considering getting back into vinyl, anyways I noticed that the RSX-1056 does not have a phono input. My question is, can I use a RC 1070 preamp as just a phono stage? Are there rca outputs that I could connect the RC 1070 to my RSX-1056? If I do this, is there going to be double the processing? So once at the RC 1070 and once at the 1056.

so to recap:

turntable(rega p25) ---> RC 1070 -----> RSX 1056

Or should I just get a regular phono stage? I'm thinking RC 1070 to keep a consistent look in my rack. There's just something special about looking at a rack full of rotel gear

Sorry about all the questions!

Not 10-series styling, but still consistent..

Thanks Kevin, if there is no means of hooking up the RC 1070 as a phono stage to my 1056 then I may very well go that route. I still want the 1070 though as I've heard some very great reviews of its phono stage in particular.
