Hi all,
Apologies for all the stupid questions i'm about to ask.
I've got some pieces that have been in storage for ages that i never got round to putting together - a Heybrook TT2 with a Jelco 750d tone arm with a Denon DL-103 MC. This will be going through a A&R Cambridge A60 and some Heybrook HB2 speakers.
A&R A60 and the speakers are working fine but I'm getting no sound when selecting mag p.u on the A60, am i right in thinking i need a phono pre-amp (if so would the Rega Phono MC be a good choice?) or should i still hear some sound without a pre-amp?
Also have a Fidelity Research FRT-3 to throw into the mix.
Should the setup be TT2 -> FRT-3 -> Phono Pre-amp -> A60?
Thanks in advance!

Not sure, but I have a feeling the phono stage became optional on later A60 amps. The 103 + FRT-3 work together extremely well, bit not without a phono stage, either external or built into the amp.
