Receivers with Phono Input - For Vinyl Lovers!
However, if you are in the market to buy a new receiver, you might want to buy one that has a dedicated phono input, so that you can plug your turntable directly into your receiver. Below you will find links to some choices. If you just want a stereo receiver, then you will find a few good choices. However, if you're setting up a 5.1 or 7.1 surround system, you might find that you'll need to get a phono pre-amp afterall.

Looking for a 5.1 or 7.1 Home Theater Receiver with Phono Input?
I recommend buying a phono pre-amp instead!
Behringer PP400 Ultra-Compact Phono Preamp
Amazon Price: $21.99 (as of 06/04/2012)
It's hard to find a 5.1 or 7.1 home theater receiver with a phono input. Instead of looking for this feature, I recommend buying a separate phono pre-amp like this one. It can hook into any RCA input on any receiver, so you don't need your receiver to have a phono feature.
This little Behringer Phono Preamp has great reviews, and for about $25 it will "bring your vinyl to life!"

You can connect pretty much anything to this receiver: your turntable, blu-ray player, CD, DVD, ipod, iphone, and more! It has 7 + 1 HDMI inputs! Amazing!
Plus it has Audyssey MultEQ XT, a system for balancing your speakers so that they will deliver the best possible sound quality!

- I have a JVC RX-5060 receiver, My turnatble is a cheaper Pioneer with the moving magnet cartridge with the built in pre-amp, this turntable is certainly not audiophile quality, but it's a step up from the Sony, same guts as the Pioneer, better needle though, I did notice a big difference in detail, only 20 dollars difference, I use the Pro logic settings for quad records, I know this isn't the same as vintage equipment, but I could tell a big difference in sound effect comparing the same titles in quad and regular formats.
