Hi All,

Im sure this has been asked a million times. Waiting patiently for my Crack to arrive and I'm looking into how it will be integrated into my system. My current setup looks like this:

-Rega Planar 3 --> Parks Audio Budgie --> Onkyo AV Receiver [plugged into Tape input]
-Dual 601 --> Yaqin M23B --> Onkyo AV Receiver [plugged into Game input]
-Onkyo C7030 CD player plugged into CD input
-Tannoy Revolution DC6T tower speakers and sub

Depending on the table/ pre-amp combo I use I switch between inputs, favoring the P3/Budgie combo.  My concern is how i plug/ integrate by Crack into this system. Ive heard that you should plug into the Tape input? Understanding that the Crack has its own volume control, Id then turn the volume down on the receiver so it doesn't come thru the speakers?  I could find another input that isnt being used for my P3 combo but will this allow me to use the Crack for both turntables and CD player?

Use the tape output on your receiver.
