Topic: turntable use with ADI-2 FS / Pro FS
Hello all,
I've searched the internet and this forum about using the ADI-2 FS / Pro FS with turntables as a kind of preamp in a listening setup as opposed to using a conventional preamp but couldn't find conclusive answers so I hope somebody here could enlighten me.
I am not versed in electronics so I'm not able to ascertain if the voltages stated by the different manufacturers with regards to input and output signals make sense for this kind of setup.
I have a turntable with 2M Red Ortofon cartridge (output voltage 5.5mV) connected to a Graham Slee Gram Amp 2 special edition MM Phono Preamp with output range 224mV to 1120mV rms.

Normally this signal should go to a line-level input on a conventional preamp after which it gets sent to my active loudspeakers.
Would it make sense to use one of the ADI-2's instead of such a conventional preamp, especially with regard to the use of this turntable setup? Do output and input specifics of the products match or would I be making a mistake and better use a conventional preamp (thinking about ATC CA2)?
I know the analogue input in the Pro FS version goes through the AD before going back to the analogue output whereas in the FS version it doesn't necessarily.
My question is not about that but about the matching of levels with the turntable/preamp as to be sure no form of audible distortion would be created and I would not be left with a bad vinyl experience.
Thank you for your time.
Tom
