The rca inputs are digital, does this mean I can't add a phono stage?

Sure you can it has an analog pair of RCA inputs, and another analog input on a stereo 1/8" input, shared with coax 2.So you have a maximum of 2 analog inputs.

RCA inputs are analog Line In inputs. You can actually connect a phono stage

No RCA inputs - I ordered 2 of these and neither one worked, so I can't really answer how well it would work with your PA speakers -

There are several ways. If the receiver has a phono imput (and Yamaha phono inputs are some of the best on the planet!! -- that's how I would go.) use that with RCA plugs. If no phono input, and you want to use rca plugs (analog) -- there is a switch which activates the turntable's internal phono preamp, you can use the auxiliary input (aux.). Finally, you can use a (digital) coaxial cable. The turntable also has a digital output. So you can take your pick.

It has "phono in" rca's in the back. Just FYI, running it with a Parasound A51 and they are really good together.

Make sure you are connecting to the phono input with ground wire. If you don't have a phono input jack on your receiver, you will have to buy a pre-amp in order to hook it up through an auxiliary port. You can buy a pre-amp from Amazon for about $25. Hope this helps.

No, it's a preamp to allow a phonograph & play through a newer receiver that's not otherwise compatible..

Hi, no, you still need an amplified or mini system with phono sockets. Most mini or midi hifis dont enable you to use a recordplayer without a pre amp but you can with this

No, you will still need a phono preamp. If your turntable has an amp built in, then sure.

Yes. It has a standard RIAA phono input and RCA plug inputs. It's one reason I bought it. Nice unit. I like it. Rich

There is a switch in the back for phono or auxiliary. If you use the auxiliary you will not need a preamp. I use this option and it works very well.

There is no input for a turntable. Only 4 input for CD players, etc. You will need to buy a separate phone stage unit.

No dedicated phono jacks, but you could use one of several standard RCA inputs like CD.

Thank you for clearing up my question about the phono input hookup. I appreciate your taking the time. I'll go into a higher equipped model which will solve the problem.Dana M. KottCathedral City, CA

I'm guessing it would work with a tape input, but probably not with the phono input. Unless it is a newer type of system, the phono inputs used different line levels. The tape input shoudl work though. I use the CD input on my system and it works just fine.

Nope, u can use ur own and it has both digital and phono outputs. Awesome turntables, i could write paragraphs about how good these are. I know its blasphemous to say as a dj but I like these stantons better than 1200's ;)

Yes this only has RCA connectors that you will have to have a amp or reciver that has a dedicated line in for phono .

There is not a phono input . I am not sure. Using a mixer and TTable would work.
