Yes he added to the thread to help the OP, others not so much.
Phono vs Aux. inputs

- Start date
Hmm. The OP seemed to like my post.
In any case, he got his answer. The discussion then wandered on, as they often do.
And off the rails.

Yes it was driven off the rails in post #9, nothing added to the conversation, pointless except to be contrary.
And continuing helps the OP not at all.

So why keep replying? As already noted, OP got his answer. He doesn't need any more help.
Threads often evolve/devolve. It's one of the things that keeps the platform interesting and entertaining.
On a related note; I spent a little time searching for receivers or preamps with phono jacks but no onboard phono amp and could not find one. However, my search skills are admittedly mediocre at best.
I wonder if there are units with digital displays for which each set of inputs can be named and entered by the user? I have five active systems, and sometimes I forget what is connected to which inputs.

in an effort to re-rail this
in case anyone was curious, this is what the RIAA curve looks like for recording and playback.

Red is whats going on in your amplifier, blue is what happens when the record is made in the first place.

We actually owned one, a Golden Tube Audio pre. Unless you added the phono pre stage, the RCA inputs connected to..........................nothing. Vapor. Air. Not a well regarded phono stage, either. And the pre was not our flavor, so away it went, quickly snapped up. No accounting.
Back to the OP, the level a phono input wants to 'see' is also worth mentioning to more fully address the post, thanks.

I never was one to pay too much attention to detailed specs., but here's some that I believe will apply in this case.
The cartridge is a Shure Me95ED......Output voltage 4.7 mv. per channel at 1000 Hz. at 5 cm./sec. peak recorded velocity.
The receiver's pre-amp data is below. I hope this adds a little fuel to the discussion. If you could interpret some of it for me, in relatively simple terms, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks........Dave

Local thrift shop had a vintage turntable and vintage Radio Shack speakers returned. The speakers had RCA jacks for speaker wire connectors. The buyer plugged the turntable into the speakers and brought it back because it "didn't work."
Many people today have no concept of component systems and how they work together.
Ya gotta love it.
