John0392 Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 My H/K AVR Receiver has no phono jacks and I want to hook up a turntable. I have to get a phono pre-amp for the magnetic cartridge and was wondering if I could hook through the Tape In/Out (?). I do not have any auxiliary jacks either and was wondering if the tape would work as an aux hook up with the pre-amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Any tape in/aux in will do fine from the phono pre-amp into the receiver. All those kind of inputs are low-line level except for a phono input (which as you said the unit does not have). So plug away and let em' spin. ------------------ Tom's Money Pit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John0392 Posted March 30, 2002 Author Share Posted March 30, 2002 What about grounding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 The external phono stage will have a grounding post but one isn't needed going to the receiver. After using the phono stage the turntable will be seen by the receiver as just another audio source (tape/cd/tv/dvd..etc.) ------------------ Tom's Money Pit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
