Thank you. I am using it for both. It doesn't really matter if the preamp has a phono stage as I already have a phono preamp. I am looking for something with at least 4 analog inputs and good sound quality. The Emotiva Basx Pt2 is one I am considering but really interested in what people here are using as a preamp in their systems and if they would recommend anything. I am also wondering if anyone uses a tube preamp and if they like it.
