I found it by googling for info about phono inputs. I bought a Stanton turntable to get into vinyl after buying a couple Queen and Bowie records at a closing-down local record store. I used it for a bit... then stopped listening to vinyl for a while. Now I want to get back into vinyl; around Thanksgiving I'm going to bring my 'table to my new place i moved into a couple months ago. My only problem is I think I need a preamp because I'm not going to be able to bring my old/current one which is a huge home theater amp. The only "amp" I've got with me already is a Creek Audio headphone amp with of course on ground-wire input... Alone, that won't do for listening to my turntable, right? I need a pre-amp before that one?
