Adding phono input to NAC

I'd like to add a phono input to my New Astro City, in order to allow me to run audio directly from a MAME system into the cab, rather than via Jamma (although obviously I want to keep be able to feed audio via Jamma as well, for my original boards). Is there a simple way to do this? Any help gratefully received!

The easiest thing to do is get a cheap little amp. I've used these before : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TDA7297-AC-D ... 4902.l9144
You can run 12v from the power supply in the cab, and then run the amplified output to the speakers.

finally getting around to hooking this up -- excuse the extremely basic question, but what type of wire should I be using for the connections?

Is 0.25mm Copper Wire 30AWG the right sort?
