I also listen to vinyl, but did not find the lack of a turntable input on the 950 to a deal-breaker. Plenty of small standalone turntable pre-amps are available. Expensive models cost several hundred dollars, but I am very happy with a less expensive model that was only about $50.

It is not much bigger than 3 or 4 inches, so space is not an issue. As a plus, it amplifies the signal very close to the turntable, so the longer run to the 950 is already amplified and so it is much less susceptible to picking up hum.
