Kr4, you state:
I never heard of such an input on a consumer preamp. To what are you referring?
Joeylawn36111, true, in most cases. However, some E.A.R. integrateds have a "phono input" that is just for labeling of the source selector knob...actually, only a line level input requiring an additional phono preamp. There may also be other preamps or integrateds that use this labeling system as well!
Some are tape head inputs which are like phono inputs in that they have much greater gain and special EQ compared to line level inputs.
