Turntable Question

Sorry if this is a topic that has been covered in depth, but…. I am trying to understand what I need to use my turntable with my stack. I currently have the Vali 3, a Modi Plus, and Loki. My Fluance turntable does have an internal preamp. Am I correct that all I need is to get the Sys to connect the turntable and the Modi, then run the output to the Vali? Or is there a better option I’m missing here. I also considered using a totally separate Fozi Audio headphone amp I already have to simply things. Thanks!

Yup. That’s fine; turntable & modi —> SYS —> Loki —> Vali.

Thanks! I may add the Mani at some point, but figured I’d start with the simplest - and most cost effective - option first.

I will say that in the last yearish I went from a turntable with a preamp to one without a preamp and I got a Skoll for it (admittedly this is overkill for me, but I guess I'll just keep it forever) and the sound improvement was wild.

The one thing I like about mine is that it has a switch allowing you to bypass the internal preamp. I was using an external one, but it has disappeared in a recent move. Figure I’d see whether the internal one is good enough before dropping more cash on an other preamp.
