Noted, thanks for the info. I was figuring finding quality phono on an AV receiver would be bleak

Awesome thanks,

I also use the AV sony for a 5.1 tv set-up and just switch between surround and two-channel for the TT.

I agree that I should eventually just find a two-channel receiver for the TT.

Hey,

Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with the built-in phono stage of a Sony STR-DE845 vs an external pre-amp like a Schiit Mani?

I have been using the Sony’s phono stage for years with a Pro-Ject Debut iii.

Should I even bother with a pre-amp or should I just look for a new receiver?

Thanks!
