shelf systems Is it possible to add a turntable to a shelf system that doesn't have one. The ones tht have turntables don't seem to have high enough wattage and/or dual cassette decks?

Since turntables have a different "output" than other stereo components, your system needs to have a "pre-phono" input, designed specifically to accept turntable signals.

Radio Shack sells a phono pre-amp for $25 if you want to use a regular turntable:Magnetic Cartridge Stereo Preamp Catalog #: 42-2825THey also carry a turntable with a built in preamp for $70:Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Turntable w/Pre-Amp Model: 42-7012Hope this helps

I am not sure, but you likely can find it on technics webpage. All the turntables I have had have been Dual. Sorry.

Yes, although I have not needed to yet. I believe you can either get them through Crosley or I am sure a place like KAB Electroacoustics would have them as they specialize in turntables.

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 and this product more than exceeded my expectations. You can hook up a turntable. It has a line in mini jack, so you'll only need a stereo mini-jack to RCA adapter. Mine has a turntable hooked up this way.

Hey Robert, you are correct, this turntable does not have internal speakers. This may seem like a hassle but typically internal speakers aren't very good. What this turntable does have is it's own built in pre-amp. A pre-amp is required to convert the sounds off the record, into any receiver. So since this turntable has a built in pre-amp, it allows you to hook it up directly to speakers, where you'd otherwise need to buy a preamp as well. I couldn't recommend this turntable more. It's the best for it's price range, and I've loved using my own. As far as storage, most record collectors use the Ikea Expedit. It comes in various sizes and the 2x2 and 2x4 models are great for keeping your turntable on top. However, ikea has stopped production on the expedit, though there is a replacement model called the Kallax which is supposedly the same this, just different material. I'd look into it. Hope these suggestions help! Cheers

It does not have turntable pre-amps. But if your turntable has regular line outputs, no problem.

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?

Yes, but you will need at least 15 watts of power to power up these speakers. So you need a 15 or higher Stereo power Amplifier to connect to the turntable and speakers. As far as cables: speakers wirer and I think maybe RCA cables? I don't know what kind of turntable you have, or are getting?

Did you find a solution? I'm facing the same dilemma now. Have the turntable, trying to figure out what I need to buy to go with it and am a novice at this. Besides speakers, do you need the stereo receiver or anything else?

Don't buy this thing. Your question is irrelevant because this is a piece of junk. The speakers sound awful, the turntable does not spin at the correct speed and the switch that operates the changing of the different modes like from radio to cassette etc, got stuck. I took mine back twice. The third time I just threw it away because I thought they would think I was an idiot or something. My mom bought one also and took hers back.

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.

Dear customer, pre-amp is not necessary since it is an integrated amp. but you need to add a phono preamp to play turntable.

I don't have a turntable, but I don't see why not. In my case, I didn't even have to bother with the little curly wires, I just put the device in between the computer and amp. Plus, it's not overly expensive and will keep forever.

You'd be better off purchasing just the turntable bearings, or lazy susan bearings!! They're much cheaper than buying this Lazy Susan (which works great, by the way) and taking it apart!! :)

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...
