Default Phono preamp in old receiver problem

"thanatoid" wrote

And is there ANYTHING I can do to make a magnetic cartridge work
with this unit? (Buying a phono preamp is OOTQ, it would cost
more than a new DVD player, but perhaps I could make one? Would
you happen to have a schematic/link to one?)


Low-cost phono pre-amps are readily available. As you appear to live in the
US could I suggest looking at what Radio Shack has to offer? You should be
able to get a simple phono pre-amp on a small PCB (no case, connectors or
power supply) for a *lot* less than the cost of a DVD player and for little
more than the retail cost of the components.
