RE: "built as a phono only instead of full function" ...

If by "full function" you mean with source selection and volume control then your terms are mis-applied. :-((

A line stage with source selection and volume control ... is a preamp(lifier).

A phono stage takes the input from a cart and applies the appropriate EQ (typically RIAA). This then feeds into a preamp; it may have (but generally doesn't) a volume control.

A preamp may include a built-in phono stage ... iow, one of the inputs is for a cart. It's still a 'preamp', though.
