Hello,

Meridian pretty much ignores Turntable inputs, especially on the older gear. When they say "Phono Inputs", I think that is Brit-speak (or old time HiFi) for RCA Line Level inputs.

I would almost guarantee you need a phono pre-amp. I'm sorry I don have any recommendations - what is your price range? Also, you might check eBay for used ones. A quick search for "phono preamp" just returned 1215 results.
