Best place to connect phono preamp to Fisher 500C?

I use my Linn LP-12 with a Fisher 400. I bought a step up preamp from KAB and he modified it to boost the .23mV output of my Dyna 17D2 to the 4.5mV needed by the Fisher. Works great. The Fisher is great at preserving the PRaT from the LP12.

I owned a Fisher 500C for a year, and enjoyed it a great deal.

(The following is recycled material from two years ago when I owned the Fisher. It is posted at www.audioasylum.com in the vintage asylum. There are some Fisher experts there, and lots of good info in the archives.)

"A few days ago someone asked how many line level inputs a Fisher 500C can handle. The answer is two.
I have a cd recorder that I connect to the tape in and tape out on the fisher. Today, I hooked up a spare tuner I have into the Fisher's AUX input. The tuner plays with the selector switch on tape. The cd player plays via the tape monitor.

An odd thing with the CD recorder is that if it is not powered on while listening to phono or FM, then the sound is very garbled. You can imagine the grief I went through before making that discovery! "

So, hook up the cd player to tape mon (definitely not tape out!), and the phono preamp into aux. You can listen to CD player via the tape monitor regardless of the position of the input selector, and to phono with the selector on tape - aux and the tape monitor off. Just make sure to leave your CD player on if the sound is garbled when listening to FM or phono.

Thank you everyone for all of the excellent information! It never ceases to amaze me how much knowledge can be found in these forums. I ended up buying a seperate phono preamp and have found the gain to be excellent. Thanks again!
