Hi! I'm new in this forum, this is my first thread. In advance, please sorry for my English, I'm from Argentina. (And for my ignorance too!)
Well, the thing is I've bought a turntable (Holimar 4, made in the good ol' argentinian times) with a Goldring 2200 cartridge (Goldring - Goldring 2200 Cartridge). I want to connect it to my Nakamichi IA 4s integrated amplifier (Nakamichi IA-4s, Nakamichi IA-4s - Hi-Fi Database - Amplifiers), wich has no phono input, so I'll need a phono preamp.
So, I have two questions: 1) which specs should my phono stage have, considering the specs of my cartridge?; and 2) would there be any problem if I connect the phono preamp to one of the inputs of integrated amplifier (meaning: to another preamp)? Would the signal be "overamplified" or something like that?
Thanks in advance for all you help! Jaime
