If you buy another full phono box, you would NOT plug that into the phono inputs of the Cary.
You WOULD plug a separate phono box into a 'aux' input.
Actually all the inputs ate AUX except the phono one. They just have alternate names.The Phono input IS different. It is the only one to go through the phono part of you preamp. The part with the extra tubes for the phono.
If you get a separate phono box, the output of that is much higher than a cartridge, and already has the phono stuff done to it. So it goes into a aux input. This will not use the phono tubes of your Cary.
If you buy a MC step up device, that is plugged between the cart and the Cary phono input. A 'step up' is really a special transformer, and has no active electrical components.
I own a spare preamp with a really nice tubed phono section. I use it ONLY when I am using that phono. To save on wear on the tubes.I would say get the step up transformer if you like the sound of your Cary phono section.
Built in phono can sound just as nice as a separate and more $$$ one.
