Hi Was wondering if the Amazon Echo link (non amp one) can act as a suitable decent pre amp for a 'dumb' power amp. Will it satisfactorily control volume, and tone controls? ( believe you can change eq in the smartphone app). I just want a pre amp / basic streamer and it is compatible with my...

I have an old Linn Axis turntable with with the Basic LVX plus arm and a K9 cartridge - and recently purchased a Rotel RSX 1067. The Rotel does not have any phono turntable input. Can anyone reccomend a good, pre used pre amp that would do a good job? I don't want to spend a lot. Cheers, Tim

Hi All Is it possible to connect a turntable directly into a Cambridge CXA80 amp or, as some of the websites online seem to suggest, albeit not overly clearly, that I’d also need to invest in a ‘phono-stage pre-amp’?? Is this essential? If so, is there not a Cambridge amp that you can plug a...

My VSA-AX10Ai stopped working not long ago and after thorough testing it seems that the pre-amp part is the problem. The receiver is not compleatly dead, it turns on but no sound at all except when the dedicated stereo pre-amp analog input is used. Given that I do not have any stereo pre-amps...
