Default receiver and system questions (newbie!)

I keep reading that if you buy a turntable (LP player) you need a
dedicated pre-amp. If I buy a receiver like this one can I just plug a
turntable into the PHONO IN or do I need a separate pre-amp for it?


Most receivers that have phono inputs are for magnetic cartidges only.
Some (e.g. the Yamaha R-900) also have moving coil capability. It
doesn't sound as though you currently have a turntable. When you
decide to get one make sure the cartridge you get is matched to the
phono input section of whichever receiver you get.

Do you know yet which turntable and cartridge are you considering?
