How come ...
99% of the new stereo receivers/amps do not have phono inputs?
Yes, I know that the phonograph is going the way of the 8-track tape, but there are still a lot of people, like me, that have extensive record collections. :=/
I am looking for a new reciever/amp, to replace the one I burned out by leaving on all the time, and out of over 25 units that I looked at on line, only 2 had phono inputs, and they were in the $199 range. :=/
Even the few high end units I checked out, not that I can afford them, did not have the phono inputs.
I figure with all those fancy options they could at least give you phono inputs, for the true audiophile that still has his LP collection.
Maybe I should just take my unit back to Radio Shack and see if it can be repaired. It's not a bad unit. I probably blew the amp transistors out by leaving it on. :={
If I had the schematics for it, I would try to repair it myself. :=3
Of course if anyone has an old stereo reciever/amp with at least 5 inputs laying about, unused .... :=3
