Im new to this, would I still need a preamp to connect my turntable, or does this have one built in? I guess would I need to run anything else?

This amp has ample outlets in back that allow you to connect a cassette, turntable, DVD player and I believe you can also use it to amplify your TV experience through the same speakers, which are connected by wire, not plug in, though the same plug in wires could be used to connect I believe if your speakers do not have wires.

You have to a pre amp for a turntable that does not have on already built in or a stereo that doesnt have one which most do not.

Very few receivers these days have a Phono input, and this one does not. You will need to get a preamp to take the phono output and amplify it to line level, then use either Audio 1 or Audio 2. I can highly recommend this: TCC TC-750LC BLACK Professional Moving Magnet Preamp This unit also works very nicely to plug into a line-in jack on a PC sound card for ripping vinyl to MP3s. The only turntables that will not require a preamp are some newer ones that have it built in.

Maybe you need some sort of pre amp for the turntable for it to run on your receiver,Shure used to make one but I haven't seen one in quite a while.Do you have access to any other receiver to see if it works ok...it may just be faulty.Without getting my hands on it is hard to say just what the issue is.

There is no "phono" input on this receiver, so it doesn't have a preamp. You can use another RCA input (I am using "Tape"), but that will only work depending on your turntable, and if it has a built-in preamp. If your turntable has a "phono" out or phono switch/setting, it will work. I have one connected and it works fine. Otherwise, you will need to buy a little $20 preamp. If you are only looking to power your speakers for a turntable, this is probably not the receiver for you.

You will need to use a preamp with this receiver, there is no phono input. You can buy a phono preamp starting at about $20. If you don't use a phono preamp, the sound will be very quiet and you'll have to crank the sound all the way up to hear it at all. Some turntables have a phono preamp built in, in which case you won't need one.

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!

The turntable has a L/R Phono input and a ground wire coming out of it. You'll most likely need a phono preamp to connect to your speakers. You can check out the TCC TC-750LC, I've been using it with my debut iii without any issues.

YOU WILL NEED A PHONO PREAMP, Just check out Amazon for some phono preamps, $20-60 should get you one. That goes between your turntable and the amp inputs. I have this amp and it sounds great, make sure you use a 24VDC power supply, nice clean output I drive 2 MTM towers and they sound great with this amp.....

This turntable should have a pre amp built in. If it doesnt you will need it. I have the audio technica lp 120 and the pre amp on that is fine

You will need: -A receiver. It can be stereo or surround, and it doesn't need a Phono input. Normally Turntables don't have a preamp built in, so traditionally receiver's have had one input in the back with a preamp labled "Phono". This Turntable has one built in that you can turn on or off with a switch on the back, so you don't need any specific type of receiver. -Speakers. Every ear is different. Set a budget and go listen to some at a store like Tweeter or Magnolia, or better yet an independent audio store in your area. Pick the ones you like, not the ones rated highest on Amazon. Make sure that the speakers can adequately reproduce deep lows or you may find yourself wanting to add a subwoofer to compensate for this. Unfortunately, more and more pairs of speakers fail to do this as they dump larger woofers for more smaller woofers. But some brands still do this exceptionally well. Again, trust your ears, not a salesman or marketing. -Cables. This turntable includes the cables to connect it to the receiver. You will need speaker wire to connect the speakers to the receiver. Speaker wire is nothing but copper wire, which is often stranded and wound. You wont benefit from anything thicker than about 14 gauge if the speakers are next to the receiver. Longer distances may need thicker wire. And that's it.

It's an integrated amp, so you don't normally need a pre-amp. However there is no phono stage so you would need one for your turntable in order to bring the sound from the vinyl back to RIAA standard. Good speaker cables, too, obviously.

No you don't need a phono pre-amp. Just connect your turntable pickup direct to the TX-8255 phono input, it comes with the RIAA equalizer built in. That's the beauty of this receiver, it will give your old LP's new life...

how do I connect these speakers to a turntable that has a RCA connection. Do I need to splice that cable and use speaker wire for the connection? I also just found out I will need to get an amp.

With this turntable you could have almost any kind of setup. It has a built in pre-amp. Meaning you could use this on a bookshelf system if thats what you have. I myself have a mid 90's Technics receiver that I ultimately route through my Sony 7.1 receiver which has no turntable pre-amp built in. My room is set up strange so I have large RCA cables going from the Technics (that the turntable is plugged into) into the Sony. Sound confusing? Dont let it be...whatever you may have, be it micro system or whatever, as long as you have an open AUX,PHONE,whatever STEREO input, you'll be fine. Just make sure if said system doesnt have a built in phono pre-amp, you switch the pre-amp on the turn table on and you're good to go

As long as it has line level inputs, you should be able to use a turntable. Since these inputs are not labeled 'phono' you will need a pre-amplifier for your turntable if it does not have one built-in.

Yes you can run your turntable. BTW, be careful when you purchase this item. I read many reviews and they are for the most part correct. The sound is not that great and it has some distortion.
