Good receiver to connect a record player
|
New member Username: JuliebPost Number: 1 Registered: Dec-06 | I want to get a receiver for my boyfriend's record player as a gift. I have been looking around and notice that I need to have a phono input to get quality sound. What would be a good brand and model to look at at a reasonable price (less than $300). Also, my boyfriend may purchase a pre-amp in the not so near future, so I would want something that could be compatable with that upgrade. |

The only problem is mixing the wrong amp and turntable is the ultimate death. Maybe if you could get us any info on the record player/turntable we could help you out more.  |
