Only built in to equally nice amplifiers ;)
Afraid i've never bought in to the whole external phonostage thing, it was just an excuse for manufacturers to remove phono inputs from amps and then charge you more in selling it separately in another box...
Dazaa-
They come in handy though if you're using powered studio monitors and don't have/need an amp. :)

Haha. You cynical person you. As user67649 guessed, I run active monitors from a DAC - so need something I can whack into the analogue inputs.
I had half looked at getting a Hagerman Labs Bugle 2 (£150) to replace the cheapie Project Phono Box I have, so wouldn't spend more than that... and frankly it'd have to be something pretty awesome to tempt me away from the Bugle. This is to hook up to a 1210 mk2 with an AT440MLb, so nothing crazy special.

Got any nice phono stages hanging around? :)
