Do I need the dedicated control amp?
Discussion
Hello I've recently purchased a Technics SE-A800S Power Amp from a shop. Second-hand and seems a good bit of kit.
My problem is it seems I need the dedicated control amp, the SU-C800, so I can then plug turntable in etc.
As it stands at the moment I can only plug an iPhone/iPod in to the power amp and control volume only.
Hope this makes sense?
My question is, can I use any other make of control amp or do I need the dedicated Technics unit? Is this a gimmick or used widely?
Sorry if i have asked a stupid question, but I've been a bit stupid, although it was a good price..
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the above info.
It is a lot better (powerful) than the other amps I have and a bit of a bargain with the speakers I got at the same time.
I'll keep my eye open for the right pre-amp/control amp that has the right connector so I can use other bits of kit I've got.
The amp I've bought is still fetching a fair bit on ebay etc but these things crop up here and there cheap.
