How To Utilize A Phono Preamp Board As Stand Alone

Interested in what it would entail to utilize a phono preamp board out of a Luxman receiver or any maker for that matter
If if there is a post already covering this, please let me know
Give me a simple outline, as I am not to electrically savvy. Someone else would actually do the work, I'm just curious how you would go about connecting a wall wart or ?

Thank you

If you know the voltage / current specs you can find just about any wall wart transformer at Digikey or Mouser

Wall warts are terrible power supplies. If you go the route of canibalizing a phono stage, at least build a proper linear power supply with quality components with enough capacity to exceed the requirements. 

A better choice would would be an off the shelf phono stage, especially for someone without a background in electronics design and engineering.

I don't recommend a wall wart switching power supply. Phono pre-amps have a ton of gain and any noise in the supply will be highly amplified. You'd have to build a robust filter for that power supply.
