Does this turntable feature a built in preamp?

Yes, it does have a built in phono preamp. You can hook up to any receiver or amp.

Yes they have a phono input via minijack. However if the turntable has no preamp then the signal level from the pickup cartridge on the pickup arm will need a phono preamp which is normal. Amplifiers with a 'phono' input have these built in but self powered speakers never have this. These speakers are very good for vinyl.

Do you need a pre-amp to work with this - connect turntable to pre-amp, connect pre-amp to INport, connect INPort to iMac......

Yes, there's a 3.5mm jack on the back that you can connect a proper cable (likely with RCA phono plugs on the other end) to connect to your disk player or stereo. I don't know whether direct connnecting a turntable will give you enough signal without a pre-amplifier. Good luck!

no - it has standard XLR (balanced) and 1/4" plug inputs and outputs. Note that I found that two examples of the particular pre-amp you are asking about had a hum problem. If you search on "ART Tube MP Project Series - Microphone Preamplifier with USB" you will find what you are looking for, in a model that I found to be very quiet and warm.

For turntable, you do need a separate phono stage or a phono preamp. this is tube integrated amp. thanks

You can hook any pre-amplified sound source (CD, tape, mp3 player) but a record player (phono) usually needs a preamplifier like this: Pyle PP999 Phono Turntable Pre-Amp

I just connected one of my turntables and it will work, BUT with a very low output at speakers. You will need a preamp.

Hello, the outputs are RCA and no there isn't a pre amp. This is a basic turntable but a trip to Radio Shack for an RCA to 3.5 male adapter easily allows you to record your vinyl to your computer.

S.Payne is correct. The "Special Input" is called a pre-amp to boost the very low signal from the turntable's cartridge up to something the receiver can use. I have the "TCC TC-750 BLACK Audiophile Phono Preamp, Pre-amp (Preamplifier)" and I am very happy with it, however there are other, more cost effective pre-amps available on Amazon depending on the audio quality you are looking for.

Yes it does, and includes a ground terminal (if needed) directly beneath. Instructions include specifics for MM and MC cartridges pertaining to pre-amps, and warns against using the phono inputs for MM turntables with built in phono pre-amps.

You would need a preamp depending on what type of turntable you were using.

Yes,it has a built in phono pre-amp and will work through either an aux,cd,or tape input. You just make sure that the turntable is on the correct setting,it also has a setting that bypasses the built in setting for use with an amp that has it's own phono pre-amp,I have an older receiver that has one built in.

The turntable goes RCA into a preamp. The preamp will have an output for the speaker. The Pyle preamp I have has RCA outs and a stereo 1/4 output. You just need a cable from your preamp out to a 3.5mm.

I don't think there is and I looked at some other questions asked about this unit and one other person responded that it is not equipped to plug in a turntable and play records.

Yes it does. I think the LP recorder works great. Simple as a preamp without using a much more dynamic soundcard. I installed audacity because recording is sensitive to high frequency. Very loud so I adjust for it with audacity effects
