Your G61 will convert the output from whichever phono stage you decide to buy, either MM or MC as it has AD conversion on analogue inputs. I plug my phono stage into my TV input. It can be beneficial to use a passive preamp between the 2 so as not to clip the ad converters and use all of your bits. Or use a Rega one as suggested.
