I recently acquired a Yamaha RX-V467 along with a Bang & Olufsen Beogram RX. I have a couple quick questions and I'm not sure if this is the thread / forum to be posted these questions on, but here goes.
1) It's my understanding this turntable does not have a preamp, so I would need to purchase one like this? (http://www.phonopreamps.com/tc450pp.html)
2) The RX-V467 does not have a phono input, thus requiring a preamp, which I posted above (is this correct?)
3) The RX-V467 does have a pre-out, but no pre-in but again, would purchasing a preamp would solve this?
4) Would I need external amplifier or would running it through the RX-V467 bypassing the preout on the RX-V467 and just using an external preamp work? Would I need to use the "Pre Out" on the receiver at all?
So overall I'm assuming it would work like this, Turntable > IN External Phono Preamp > OUT External Phono Preamp > IN Audio 1 on RX-V467 > OUT Audio Out on RX-V467 (if I'm using component speakers. What if I was using speakers with normal speaker wire?
Sorry for all the questions and I'm hoping it's a simple solution. Thanks!
1) yes, but I would buy this one the Beograms has a low output level, and a gain control will help.
2)yes
3) preouts or ins has nothing to do with Phono
4) not sure what you mean
Preouts are for active speakers, normal passive speakers uses normal speaker out.
So RX to preamp in, preamp out to audio in on amp, passive speakers to normal speaker connections
Collecting Vintage B&O is not a hobby, its a lifestyle.
Awesome, thanks for the help! Why would you recommend that preamp instead?
That one has a gain control, the signal from the Beo cartridges is low, if you have other sources connected to the amp/receiver, they will appear louder than the BG at the same volume level, you can adjust that with the gain control, so you wont have to adjust volume level every time you change to BG from other sources.
