Can anyone recommend a receiver that has both the phono and HDMI inputs? Anyone know where to get one?

Thanks!!

    Thanks redmosquito but:

    Another omission, which is becoming all-to-common in low and moderately-priced home theater receivers, is the lack of a dedicated phono/turntable input. If you want to connect a turntable to the RX-V665, you must use an additional phono-preamp or purchase a turntable with a built-in phono preamp.

    Appreciate the suggestion though. Anyone else maybe?

    Most top line turntables have built in preamps these days anyway. If not, external preamps are a lot cheaper thn trying to find one of these do it all receivers.

    My dad has a Panasonic/Technics Receiver at home that we play our Technics turntable through.
    I know it has a phono input, but I don't remember the model number.
    I'm sure you can find one on panasonic.com.
    I would go with Panasonic if I were you. ;)

    I've got a top line turntable. Thing is it was built in early '70's so no built in preamp. (Dual 1219)

    I've not only personally experienced, and researched, that if you want a quality external phono preamp that doesn't break you need to spend some serious money. Those $80 ones are junk. I figured why not take that money and put it towards a receiver that not only has phono preamp in it but also has modern technology like HD.

    Thanks for the input and suggestions!! :thumbup:
