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

With new demand, there should be room for lots of new tables.

It's a nice old Sony TA-F300 amp. Even has the earth connector for the LP player :)

As you said, records are kinda dying off in the general public, ergo, people will be throwing away working units and record collections as they "upgrade". Bet you find someone chucking one away within a mile of your house.

-=TK, whose parents bought a new Sony system because he ruined the old phonograph.
