Oh and also, the ipod and turntable inputs fit directly into the aux on my stereo without any complications. The ipod one is a Monster cable one.

I was just giving you a hard time regarding the phono (due to your age), please don't take offense
. I realize that you are REALLY into music based upon your other posts, but most 20 somethings have never listened to analog recordings, much less dig tube amps etc. What Rouxroux said is true...if you've been plugging your turntable into the "aux" (line in) jack, then you've been shortchanging yourself whether you realized it or not. "Phono" inputs are amplified in order to compensate for the low level output provided by the phono cartridge (6mV) and boost this signal to 500mV (standard line input). All other typical line inputs are the same: AUX, LINE, CD, DVD, MD, VCR, or TAPE, etc. Are you saying that you only have an "aux" input, and none of the others listed above? If that is the case, then a "splitter" (well, not really a "splitter", more of a "combiner") is what you need, but that would be my last resort. Hope this helps...
