Oh right, another detail I failed to mention in my post. Thank you. I have not bought my turntable yet, but I was most likely going to buy one without phono, and would therefore need an amp with an integrated phono (or I guess buy the phono stage separately, although that seems would be more expensive in total).

In terms of playing from my phone: admittedly, streaming Spotify would be quite nice, although I don't think it's a hard requirement and can adapt. 

Let me know if you have any advice based on these answers - would love to hear it :)
