Would this device work with vintage 60's-era powered Bose speakers? I just want to spin records and don't want a huge all in one receiver.

This is just a pre-amp. Meaning it boosts the small signal from a turntable to a volume where an amp can do its job. Old amps used to have a phono stage, and some new amps do. Essentially this is the phono stage separate from an amp amp.

I don't think it is what you want . Would not have a volume control or enough output. I think.

This is a phono preamp speakers dont hook to it only input phono and output to your receiver.

Technically yes, but only if the speakers have RCA inputs or you have converters. You'll also need something to control he volume of the signal. If the self powered speakers have volume control and RCA inputs, then yes.

You'll still need a proper amp. The output from this device isn't enough to power speakers alone.

probably not...what this unit does is amplify the signal from a turntable to a tape deck output because most newer amps don't have a source input for phono.

Probably not. I use mine with a wireless DAC that definitely has a high enough output level. Most modern electronics like a CD player would be fine. Of course, if you have a turntable, you will need a phono preamp.

a turntable will need its own preamp, or a separate one to act as a go between. Will work in any rca inputs once a preamp is in place. I bought a 20 dollar pyle pro PP444 mini pre-amp on amazon and it works just fine for my turntable which is a vintage pioneer model -PLS40. I have both the SS1000 and SS3000 sony speakers. Obviously the 3000s are better, but make sure you have room as they are big for bookshelf speakers. They are only about 29 dollars more, so well worth it, if you have the space. I use the 1000s as surround speakers as they are easily wall mounted with brackets. I also have a pair of SS6000 floor speakers, which have very true sound, but not very efficient compared to the JBL monitor speakers from the 1970s I just picked up at an estate sale. They don't make them like they used to apparently, although it make be unfair to compare sony to JBL.

That depends. Your speakers must have analogic inputs or outputs, either p2 or RCA. Mine works great with a pair of amplified computer speakers.

This should work for that. I have mine set up to work with an old pair of B&O; speakers, and it sounds great! It's not a super powerful amp, so it won't get all that loud, but it puts out good sound. It has both USB and RCA inputs so you can hook it up to a computer AND another external input.

If the turntable has rca outs, it should. ( the red and white audio jacks). Also, make sure the receiver has optical in.

Bose speakers can be interesting... I am using this to power some speakers that do require amplification, however they are not Bose speakers. For the price you could give it a try I suppose, or try powering the speakers with a non Bose amplifier first to see if it would work? If they are powered speakers I would say no as this would be double amplification and most likely cause distortion etc... Good luck!

There are some turntables that have a built in amp. Mine does so it works with straight RCA inputs.

Can't think of any reason it would not work. I have found it difficult to match Bose with non Bose speakers in many applications. I think you will be pleased with the results

I honestly don't know. I merely connected my 70's turntable to this and run it into a small mixer before running it back to my 70's era Bose amp. No sub output on those old things. Sorry I couldn't help. Good luck!

I highly doubt the phono input will work. The phono inputs are spec'd for turntables which require completely different electrical specs than all the other inputs like tuner, tape, and auxiliary. In other words, the phono inputs will only work with turntables (phonographs).

This receiver doesn't have a PHONO input. You would need an add-on phono preamp to use this receiver with older turntables. Some modern turntables connect with USB or have a built-in phono preamp and could be used directly with this receiver. Search Amazon for "phono preamp"

I imagine you've already figured this out, but this unit has no phono pre-amp. You'll have to either buy an outside pre-amp for your old turntable (better quality, usually) which in turn plugs into your receiver or buy a new turntable that has its own pre-amp and regular RCA outputs for this unit (and most others I've seen).

Probably. I replaced an old 1960s amplifier and everything worked great -- even better, in fact. It is a basic 2 channel amplifier -- it works best with old style speakers. It has an adequate AM/FM tuner. It plays CDs and has a phono input if you have a turntable. There is a tape input but no "Tape Monitor" function which my old amp had. Makes recording a little more difficult, but possible. It is a very good inexpensive old style stereo amplifier. I still like it a lot.

FOR CERTAIN this will not work properly with a phono out. You will need a pre amp or a turntable with a built in pre amp.
