Has anyone tried this connected to a vinyl player? I'm only concerned about its ability to drive the headphones. Thanks

It is poorly built and I wish i never bought it. Started shorting out the headphone pots[BOTH od them!!] about 6 months after i bought it. Piece of junk. Don't bother. Buy a old used receiver from a pawn shop for $30 and use that.

you need the E7 with it to plug into the top. I have never had problems with mine. Tho I do not like the way the E7 plugs in. you have to make sure not to bump or torque it.

All I see on it is an "Aux in" plug, where you can presumably plug in an external source (like a tape deck), and there's also a USB jack on the front, which I've never used for anything. If you have USB speakers you might try them out and if they work then USB headphones might also, if there is such a thing as USB headphones. I just listen to CDs on the built-in speakers so I haven't tried out all the features. If the user manual is on-line it may have more info. Good luck! Marie

I some what understand your question, I don't think it had anything to do with the headphone amp though... to eliminate the question, try to do the same thing without it being connected, and last but not least, I don't know how this amp would make any device(s) lose any files... I haven't had that problem.

Yes!!! The NO answers are incorrect. A record player signal needs to be adjusted for the RIAA curve that is applied to the Vinyl when it is made. You will need a Phono preamp before this amp, otherwise the music will sound horrible

i was using Sony's XBA headphones before. When compared to that i feel it does produce a live music as posted. i feel its true. I would suggest you to try different genres of songs!!

Nope, I added extra speakers via the headphones out port. That did help add a little low end. But I'd still caution against buying this unit for vinyl records.

Any amplified speakers that can connect to this turntable via the RCA wires should work just fine, including the headphones. I hesitate to recommend a specific model because choosing a speaker is a very subjective thing, and depends on your personal tastes.

The marketing mumbo jumbo that John quotes sounds nice but is false when it says "features the ability to properly drive the widest variety of headphone types, regardless of impedance or sensitivity". It will not "properly" drive all headphone types. In fact I think it is under-powered for any headphones over 50 ohms impedance. I tested it with my apple ear buds and half volume is about as loud as I would want to go but with my 50 ohm headphones I have the volume maxed out and wish I could go higher. So the honest truth is that they really skimped on the headphone amplifier on this product. The best review I have found on this product is from Don Disbennett at hometheaterhifi and he talks about this as well from his testing with HD598 headphones. The companion amplifier, PM6005, has a great headphone amplifier section that can drive any headphones however.

This player has an Auxiliary mode and it comes with a 3.5mm male to male line in cable which is included. I tried my Headphones and it did not work, because the Auxiliary jack is actually made for being able to attach another audio device and use its controls. I'll copy for you what it says under "Basic Operation ", Use a 3.5mm male to male line in cable ( included) to connect the Line-out or Headphone out jack of an audio device to this system Auxiliary Line-in-jack. I hope this helps you to make your decision. The system itself is great and I can highly recommend it.

I have not tried yet but if you would like I can try shortly. I use it on a pioneer avh4600bt and hook up my iPod and iPhone to it to play music so I do not see why it wouldn't.

The Marantz TT42P is a nice piece of equipment. It works well. I found almost no staticwhen playing old Vinyl records. If your amplifier has phono input that means you cannot use a turntable with a preamp. You have to buy a turntable without a preamp!

Dear Mr. Lee:I decided to go up a notch to a Technic 1200 turntable.What are these other items; are they replacement items I can buy later? What function do they do?Shure M97xE High-Performance Magnetic Phono Cartridge Shure SFG-2 Stylus Tracking Force Gauge Also, a friend gave me a pair of bose $300 speakers for my PC. I think I want to pair this Technic turnable with a bigger Bose system, suggestion here?

It will do better than the standard headphone out on your computer or smartphone but I don't think it's designed to drive high impedance headphones. Having said that, I have no actual experience.

Any headphones work with mp3s including this one. I assume you are asking about compatibility with something like an Ipod which of course this plugs into.

The unit will play any file format because it is just a speaker and does not read data. It will play from any media device ie:(smartphone, mp3player, TV etc.) it is merely a component and as long as the device you are storing your music on can be connected by either: (Bluetooth or headphone cable) it will work just fine. I have researched several and this one has the cleanest highs and miss, with a very crisp 'thump' on bass. It also doesn't look like a toy as many portable speakers are targeting teenage demographic (nothing wrong with that) it is definitely a classy looking component. I would like to specify that: this is not a MP3 player nor does it have capacity to store music. It is used to be an amplified all in one sound system that will hold a charge for several hours and can be controlled by blue tooth or headphone line directly into your device (phone, mp3 player, or a thing that has a microphone line out OT Bluetooth capability.) I hope that helps! Thanks?

I was wondering if it is possible to link up two of these for a stereo effect while playing my iPod through one of them. Is that possible?

Did you eventually find a good solution for your application? I'm hoping to do essentially the same thing, except I had planned to use the headphone outputs of both the piano and laptop. I would be grateful to know if you got this to work, and any details you might be willing to share about the hookup. Thanks.
