You shouldn't need a separate preamp since most modern turntables already have preamps built in. So if you want to buy one just in case, do so but it shouldn't be needed.

In short, I would say no. If you feel like removing all USB functionality - then technically yes. (cut the speaker lines and place into the amp outs). I suspect the low output over your current system is a combo of low power from the USB powered amp (it's technically only capable of 2.5w output) - and cheap speakers. So If I'm going to be truthfully honest - by another powered speaker PC set. For utilizing this amp you'd want to purchase new speakers as well.

Zachary...you will need another form of amplifier to drive these speakers. The pre-amp on your turntable is for connecting to vintage amplifiers without a pre-amp for a turntable or similiar device. I believe you should turn the pre-amp off if you are running your turntable through a modern receiver or amplifier. Modern amps should have a turntable pre-amp built in if they have phono capability. Hope this helped.

run an unpowered signal (Main output/ Aux output, etc) via 1/4" plug or 3-pin balanced "Mic" cable. 1/4 plugs into middle of 3-pin input. DO NOT run a powered signal into unit! It will split low end to main sub speaker, then send rest of signal to onboard power amps (2 passive spkrs can be plugged into unit and used as mains for small room or to power monitors- pretty neat setup, although only 150watts, used correctly the sub can be a self contained power setup.).

You need an amp that has a phono pre-amp (phono puts out less output than digital so it needs to be boosted before it's amplified. And, of course, you'll need speakers.

All the speakers in my system are hard wired. I have not had good luck with my system and would not buy it again nor recommend it.

You need a separate amplifier for these speakers. I bought the CV -900. You should know that running these type of speakers without a separate amplifier can damage your receiver. You should also know the CV-900 amp will require a special connector. I would suggest checking with your local music store.

Unless you have an audio card that can handle it, you need to get a TRS/XLR cable or converter and run it through an audio interface. There has to be something before the computer that will turn the electric signal from the pre amp into data the computer can use to recreate the signal.

Brian,I'm sorry no one replied to your question. I only just got this system myself last night. You could not just plug your speakers in, because the system uses a proprietary method of plugging the speaker wires into small jacks on the back very similar to telephone jacks. You could splice the open end of the speaker cables to your existing cables, though! Not an optimal choice, I know, but a choice, nonetheless.Good luck!

This amplifier requires a preamp, or existing receiver. If your subwoofer is powered, you will have to use the preamp or receivers subwoofer preout. If your subwoofer is passive, you can sent the signal to the amplifier but will not be able to run a true 5.1 surround

I am sorry, but the receiver you have doesn't have pre-amp outputs. You can't add any amp to this receiver. Sorry. Some of the higher end receivers have pre-amp outputs that allow you to add external amplification.

My speakers are plugged into the original radio/cd player of my car. I am sure your installer can answer more specific amp and aftermarket equipment questions before any purchases or any work is done. In either case, I am very satisfied with the speakers!

Just use the in and out jacks on the back of the speakers. Out from the speaker connected to source in to additional speaker.

Yes, because of the USB capabilities, I believe this model has a pre-amp already installed in it. Some receivers have a pre-amp installed, if there is a "phono" input. Mine does not and I use the "CD" input. I haven't tried it, but I would assume you could connect the turntable directly to speakers and it would be fine.

Not sure what you mean by "PC speakers". Are you talking about full speaker units or just the internal speakers from PC speaker? If it's a full speaker unit, you shouldn't have to run it through this amp at all; they should be powered directly from the PC. If you're speaking of bare speakers though, just run wire directly to the speaker terminals, red to red black to black (or red to + and black to -).

You will need both a pre-amp and an amplifier to drive speakers. Many integrated amplifiers and receivers have a phono pre-amp built in. This unit is only for pre-amplification or driving headphones. It is not appropriate for speakers. I would suggest before trying to build a system around your Dual you check and insure it is running on speed. You will probably also need to purchase a new phono cartridge.

I wouldn't recommend running with no deck...I tried it And didn't have great sound so I ended up getting a clarion m303 and its like night and day difference. In regards to the cables, this amp came with no cables. Refer to the owners manual for the required cables. For my setup with the amp connected to the clarion deck and 4 6x9s I had to purchase ground, power and amp signal wires And speaker wires and 2 sets of rca
