Do i need a pre amp? I have a Yamaha 673 AV Receiver with USB inputs

No, the turntable has a built in phono amp. Please note that Pro-Ject often ships the wrong instructions with this unit and they will probably say that a phono amp is required. This confused me for a bit. The best thing to do is to download the proper instructions.

Nope. No preamp needed for this model. You can definitely use the USB inputs, but even the analog (RCA) output on this table can plug into any line-level input on a receiver. It has it's own built in phono preamp in addition to the USB out.

You'll need to buy a digital interface that will accept a Toslink input and output analog connectors that your AV Receiver will accept...unless you AV Receiver has an optical digital (Toslink) input somewhere on the back...which it should if it's not too old. I send the Toslink output to digital interface that converts it to coaxial digital output (bought on Amazon) and then on to a DAC that accepts the coax digital...said DAC then outputs with red and white analog outputs that go to my preamp (AVR for you). Check the back of your AVR and see it there's a optical digital (Toslink) input. Good Luck JM

Only if you need more that 2 inputs. You would need a phono preamp however if you were using a turntable.

The Onkyo TX-8255 has a built-in pre-amp for a dynamic pick-up and should not require an external pre-amp. The phono input is clearly marked and is grounded through the shield in the out put cables from the phono. An external ground is not required unless the phono output cables are compromised.

I have not hooked it into my TV as I have another set hooked into the TV but you should not need any other pieces or products to amplify sound. These speakers do a pretty good job of that already. So no, you won't need a preamplifier.

Can't say about pre-amp, but works directly with Apple Mac Garage Band program, without any other drivers or software. Just plug and play.

The pre-amp is self contained in the unit. It's output is fine to plug into an aux input of your receiver.

It depends. In the typical case, when your input signal is at "consumer line level" -- such as from a CD player, MP3 player, or PC -- then no, you won't need a preamp. But, if your input signal is weaker -- such as directly from a microphone, electric guitar pickup, or phonograph cartridge -- then yes, you'll need some preamplification.

Yes, a premp boosts the signal to your amp and though your receiver has a phone input this preamp will clean up the signal and give a richer sound. Make sure your amp and the receiver / preamp are grounded. This makes a huge difference. You can ground the preamp to the reciever or to a copper water pipe or rig an out ground( to the third prong)

This system does require an amp/receiver. Mine is a 200W Yamaha. I use mine solely for rear surround.

My research indicated that you do need a preamp, so I bought one and everything works fine, but I'm no expert! You would need some sort of cable converter at least but I think you do need the preamp.

Whatever device your connecting this amp to will need to have pre-amp out ports. You connect the amp to the stereo with r a jacks.

I have recently purchased a new receiver and found that higher priced ones will have a phono input. There are preamps that can used - reviews of the lower priced ones left me skeptical about quality and frequency response, so I decided to spend the money on the receiver. (Denon 3313)

No, you will not need a pre-amp. I have a SONY turntable hooked up to mine as ,works great!

I do not have turntable, but there is a phono input to the receiver. I would think most all turntables would connect up to that without a pre-amp being needed...

I actually just use a Yamaha multi-channel receiver. Live in an apartment so space is limited. Have heard great things about the N22 though as a good entry level pre-amp.
