The Mini A2D is intended to be a preamplifier for low level signals (such as from a phono cartridge on a turntable arm) to boost the signal to a level that the main amplifier can amplify. If you plug a low level audio signal into your amplifier input and you don't hear it or it is very weak, then you need a preamp between the signal source and the amplifier. Otherwise, you don't need the preamp. I suggest you ask REGA directly.

Hi. You need to have a phono stage regardless. The Rega is good quality for the price.

Maybe, because I don't know how you would hook up a USB turntable to an integrated amp....you might want the Rega to hook the turntable to because it does have a USB port

Onkyo now has a program where they will fix this issue of no sound. Mine just died after only 1-1/2 years. Here's the web link: https://repair.onkyousa.com/na/003_2012.php?country=USA#serialModal

I'd set the Onkyo A/V receiver to 'small' mains and just connect it's sub-woofer output to the LFE input on the Polk PSW505. Play something 'bassy' and switch the phase 180 degrees to see which produces the greatest amount of bass - leave it there. Adjust the bass level as desired. Remember to secure nick-nacks on shelves near it... they can and will vibrate off!

If you already have speakers, get a receiver or amplifier. Amazon should have an assortment to browse.

My advice is return it like I did. And spend more money on a better unit. I bought a Yamaha 5.1 surround sound.

my tv has HDMI input but my old onkyo amp does not .. does this mean i can only enjoy the improved sound from the TV?

I have Onkyo TX-SR805 7.1. I also have this hum. I've tries everything under the sun and nothing gets rid of it. I've isolated it to the receiver in a pain staking process of elimination. If anyone has a fix, I would be interested. I have to have to return it, because otherwise it is awesome. That hum is really beginning to get to my ear drums.

Never tried with Onkyo. Only with Logitech, Bose, Sony and Phillips and I had good results in all of them.

I am no audiophile,but My 60LG7400 and my Grandson's 47LG4700 sound pretty good. It's No Bose, but at the present I see no reason to put one in. If you're capable of doing the install yourself, I'd recommend a wait & see approach like I used. I may decide to put an AV amp in someday, but that would be more for true surround and features like adding more inputs than sound quality (3 HDMIs don't really meet my 'needs')

If you have a more modern receiver without a "phono" input, you will need to also purchase a preamplifier. I have this and the audio-techna preamp and am very happy with it.

No, you do not need a preamp. There is a dedicated phono input. I took a snapshot of the page from the manual, but can't attach it here. You can download the PDF manual at onkyo's site and look at page En-18. :-)

The only way to get a better sound out of the Audio-Technica AT-LP120 is to remove the built in phone preamp. It is very easy, there is a tutorial in YouTube. Just disabling it with the switch in the back will only make things worst, since the circuits are still connected in parallel. The Bellari VP130 is a nice phone preamp but take care you need to replace the power supply that is delivered with it (this is explained in a lot of comments here), and also your electric supply must be very clean otherwise you get a lot of RF noise. I could not get ride of the noise and had to buy another brand.

There is NO USB input on this amplifier. There are 2 analog RCA inputs. You would need a separate DAC unit to go between this and your source component.

Why would you want to? Hi def sound sent to a fuzzy analog tv...don't do it. You have defeated the purpose of buying the Denon amp.

Hi David - thanks for the reply.My AV receiver would be close to the turntable, so the short length isn't an issue. Never thought much about cable capacitance though; interesting point although I believe a lot of hum can be attributed to ground loops from poor wiring or design. Anyway, I ordered the AT-LP120 directly from Beach Camera on Sunday. Still no sign of a tracking number. My order says pending. Has anyone dealt with Beach Camera directly? If so, how long did it take for them to ship out the order?

Go with yamaha,the onkyo's run hot. Loys of complaints by other owners with heat issues.

Hi. I would verify the positions of the pots and faders on the selected channels that you have audio going in. Also, do you have output as stereo L-R? I would verify your configuration for the output of the amplifier by looking at that section of the manual. I apologize if you've had it a while and the audio level has dropped....Good luck!
