#Best receivers with phono input plus#

For example, the phono pre-amp built into my Outlaw Audio rr2160 integrated amp is very good. There are some receivers that have quite decent-even good-phono stages. It depends entirely on WHAT receiver you're talking about and the quality of its built-in phono pre-amp and on WHAT standalone phono pre-amp you're comparing it to. One would expect the latter to sound better than the former in a system capable of such differentiation.Д¬lick to expand.That's kind of a meaningless question. What 'pre-amp for your turntable' do you have? Phono stages can run in price from $15 to over $10,000. You ask a very generic question, without providing any of the details required to answer that question with any degree of authority.

#Best receivers with phono input plus#

A cartridge with a recommended maximum capacitive load of 200pF will not sound it's best diving a load in excess of 500pF (tonearm wires + interconnect cables, plus phono stage). This is done to filter out noise from the digital circuitry that also resides within the chassis of the AVR. Unfortunately, the phono stages of many AVRs are quite high (often in the 440pF range). Since that includes the tonearm wires and interconnect cables, you really want the input capacitance of your phono stage to be no more than 100pF. For example, most current Audio Technica cartridges will perform best with an input capacitance of 100 - 200pF. One would expect the latter to sound better than the former in a system capable of such differentiation.ДЄlso, what phono cartridge are you using? Depending on what you are using, the internal phono stage in the Denon AVR may, or may not, be a good match. Click to expand.What 'pre-amp for your turntable' do you have?
