I know this is a dumb question but I have not played with turn tables since I was young enough not to care how they worked.
How does the phono amplification thing work. If you have a phono in jack on your receiver, I would have assumed it will do all the needed amplification. However, I see "phono pre-amp" mentioned a lot. Is this because some amps don't have phono capability or because the signal from the cartridge is actually pretty weak for input into amps that might have a phono jack but are not good at receiving the weaker signal.
Sorry but this older technology is like brand new technology to me.
