5.1 a/v receiver with phono input

by yonan32 - 5/15/08 11:54 PM

does anybody have a recommendation for an a/v receiver with phono input that goes well with today's high def standards (hdmi/dts-es/dolby)?

Most any new receiver

Although you may not find a "phono" input labeled on a new receiver, all new receivers have multiple inputs that will work with a turntable. Any input with RCA type input plugs will work.

You need a receiver with a "phono" input. If you plug it in to any old rca input on the receiver you will barely be able to hear your turntable. A phono preamp is built in to certain receivers to pre-amplify the signal before it hits the amplifiers. Try Denon or any other brand. Usually it is only found on the higher priced models because it adds a hundred or 2 to the price.

Don't post bullcrap.

"Any input with RCA type input plugs will work."

TOTALLY WRONG. Not only is the signal from a turntable cartridge way too weak for regular line inputs, but it needs to have the RIAA equalization curve applied to it to make it sound correct.

Any receiver plus a phono preamp

You can buy an external phonp preamp and use any A/V receiver you want. I did a quick search on Amazon and found a whole bunch with a wide price range. You can check out the reviews.

Yes, Yamaha

I have a Yamaha w/ phono input and my friend just got an Onkyo w/ it. Both are very good and have all the HDMI and optical inputs. My Yamaha was a lot simpler to conect than his Onkyo but the Onkyo has better graphics in the onscreen setup menu.
