Hey Sluggo, point well taken, but I already have a separate phone pre-amp (a holdover from my 950) and celebrated, along with others on this forum if memory serves, the inclusion of a phono input on the 990). I still think that Outlaw could have easily gotten rid of some analog space-wasters (I mean, VCR and cassette deck input/outputs? talk about needless!) and included a decent phono pre-amp in the design of the 997.
