hi there, In the correct order of things my next purchase was going to be a Rega Brio r amp. But I think I want to get in to vinyl first, budget won't allow for both at the moment.

Rega RP3 and phono mini phono will probably be my next purchase, I already ordered some vinyl to take for demo.

I am getting inpatient!, just hope it sounds as good as I hope?

My question is, can I plug the phono stage into the aux on my amp or can I plug it in to my Rega DAC? Also which is best?

By the way I have ordered Elbow 'Seldom seen kid' on vinyl.

I don't see any analogue inputs on the Rega DAC so use AUX on the amp.

Hi you can plug the Rega mini phono into your aux input or any other except the phono input on amps that have one

Did you know it's 45RPM?  It caught me out and doesn't get played as much as it ought due to the faff of having to move the drive belt to the other pulley.
