Unfortunately I have never used this feature, but I can offer some advice: rip the music into a 24-bit codec with the highest sample rate you can. (i.e, not MP3)

Dear John--Great!Although I am an electronic engineer, I never had installed a serious audio system until a few months ago. At the time, I was amazed that people with non-technical backgrounds were able to get their Surround Sound systems going, especially considering the sometimes inaccurate and usually incomplete instructions from the component manufacturers. I am thankful for this and other forums that help fill the information vacuum!Best Regards--Bill

Thanks, Darryl. I'm looking for a decent stereo system I can use with iPhone, iPod and iPad. I'd also like it to have CD capabilities. There are so many ways to go!

I bought a kit off Amazon that included everything I needed. It is pretty standard just check the manual online for specs. Mine worked great and was half the price of the stereo shop.

I bought a pair of Audioengine 2 speakers from Amazon to hook up to this turntable and my computer - What a fantastic sound! And the price is right!!

@joseph, excellent rec I totally forgot about them Morrow audio when I was in my A/V prime up in LA. Another great place is Audio Advisor which is like the Victoria's secret catalog for guys LoL. They have the top dogs on clearance/close outs all the time from AudioQuest, Analysis Plus, Cardas, Kimber, etc. And all your speakers, subwoofer, amps, receiver, stands n racks, tons of tweeks for the geekiest nerds.@pedro,,sorry amigo but you pretty much lost all credibility the moment you typed Monster.

yea... maybe we should put up an award for answering our question... how about we both chip in 100 bucks. I bet you by tomorrow morning we'll have dozen new answers!I want this thing badly, but if I can't listen to it NORMALLY using my stereo... then I'm not going to buy it. While I want to rip my LPs into MP3s, I also want to listen to them FROM the turntable.

Ditto, This player brought my lexicon dc2,bridged carver amps, and klipsch chorusll's(4 of them) back to life.I had a pioneer dv05, thx, like everything else listed here,and simply cannot believe what I was missing in sound quality from the pioneer. This player could pick up a pin dropping in the middle of a pete townsend solo(doesnt get any louder than that).Yes the blueray is very good, yes the upconverting is very good, but the sound is only surpassed slightly by the denon (4500.00) blueray player.Buy it for 500.00, I paid a thousand for the dv05, Technology just keeps jumping by leaps and bounds.

Speakers should be no problem, nor should the subwoofer. I record from vinyl to my Marantz CD recorder all the time. Works well!

Hi again, Jerry... Just want to clarify my earlier answer... the speaker connections are not RCA. The phono, tape, CD and Video/Aux connectors are RCA. Sorry if my first answer was confusing....

I honestly never did do that My pop has told me that you never connect everything to one unit for the fear of electrical damage that could happen so I advise getting PC speakers or better yet there are phono jacks I've seen on a PC system and two bookshelf speakers great sound and the cd burnt with the pc equalizer in it it sounded as if you're in the studio or there in concert so I hope this has helped you and wish you the best. By all means contact me about this Bud Lucas yerington nv

I used Audio Express for my install. They did an excellent job and have compatibility info on the stereo units. Pretty sure theyre nationwide too. They shd be able to answer your questions. Good luck.

i kno this is late but im looking into this TURNTABLE/BELT DRIVE/MANUAL/CARTRIDGEi kno u should have already selected a turntable by now lol

Yes you do. As far as brand that comes down to preference and what your going to use it for. Some recommendations would be Marantz PM5004 as it has a phono input. Also Sherwood makes a basic stereo receiver also the RX-4109 which would be ok for starters.

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.

Yes. but right now i am just keeping it simple and living with it as is. have not had time to deal with the other stuff. have magna planer speakers and could hook up to that, but think it would be better to ultimately hook up to amplifier first which is then hooked up to the speakers and then go from there and listen to your vinyl and old cassettes and download what you will . i just bought this to kind of chill in a simple way and listen to my records 'as is' with that good old sound and it is enough for me just as it is. there is potential to do almost everything when you have the right tools, however. take it wherever you want to. that is up to you ultimately. right? ;-) Yes. but right now i am just keeping it simple and living with it as is. have not had time to deal with the other stuff. have magna planer speakers and could hook up to that, but think it would be better to ultimately hook up to amplifier first which is then hooked up to the speakers and then go from there and listen to your vinyl and old cassettes and download what you will . i just bought this to kind of chill in a simple way and listen to my records 'as is' with that good old sound and it is enough for me just as it is. there is potential to do almost everything when you have the right... » Read More Yes. but right now i am just keeping it simple and living with it as is. have not had time to deal with the other stuff. have magna planer speakers and could hook up to that, but think it would be better to ultimately hook up to amplifier first which is then hooked up to the speakers and then go from there and listen to your vinyl and old cassettes and download what you will . i just bought this to kind of chill in a simple way and listen to my records 'as is' with that good old sound and it is enough for me just as it is. there is potential to do almost everything when you have the right tools, however. take it wherever you want to. that is up to you ultimately. right? ;-) « Show Less
