What kind of an amplifier will I need to go with a Pioneer cd changer? Where do I find one and how much do they cost?

my guess is it depends on your speakers ... audio amplifiers can be 25W, 75W, 125W, and up ... i use a 75W amplifier (made by PYLE) and it has plenty of power.

Just about any amplifier with inputs will work, since the Pioneer has both digital and analog connections. The older standard rca jacks, as well as a fiber optical output are available. It won't work with S-video; and there is no wireless option. Anything with a basic auxiliary input that's a miniplug type will work. You'll have to pickup your own cables as I don't recall receiving any with my unit. The best thing to do would be to look at the Pioneer's manual online; and perhaps, print the connections' graphics page. It's quite a nifty unit; and after many years of use- I don't have a complaint. Just about any amplifier with inputs will work, since the Pioneer has both digital and analog connections.

You will need an amplifier which you can get for $20. I suggest the Lepai LP-2020A+

I used with Pioneer GM-X742 Amplifier, but this is old model. Try find the New generation of this model, with similar power RMS. All compones must be Pioneer for optimal sound

I'm running my turntable through the Cambridge Audio Azur 651 pre-amp into the CD input of my Pioneer receiver which doesn't have a phono input.

go with one of the pioneer digital amps and you'll be happy, those amps are relatively small and push plenty of power

Or you could check out what are known as "head pre-amps" that will amplify the signal from the cartridge so that it meets the Denon receiver's minimum input requirement.When I was shopping around for a new multi-channel receiver or a simple stereo pre-amp/amp the salesman recommended that I go for a stereo pre-amp/amp since it would have a phono input, but the usual receivers don't.

Any amplifier that has a subwoofer out connection. I use it on my Pioneer Amplifier.

Sorry, but I was NOT happy with the Pioneer unit, and returned it for a Yamaha. My advice: Get a Yamaha! I have 2 now, and they work flawlessly.

Mine's connected to an amp and the amp is connected to the speakers. As rjcolgan said, you choose the receiver or amp and the speakers you wish to use. Fantastic CD player by the way - I've had mine for about five years with not a bit of difficulty and great sound fidelity.

Thanks for your question. I'm not a big fan of using conversion transformers with audio amplifiers but it should work. This is a fantastic sounding system. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Harman Kardon dealer.

I used the Emotiva a-100 amplifier which is a little over $200 and it sounded great. I'm sure that the 2 channel receivers at Best Buy also should work well but are probably in the $150 and up range. You can also look up Class D amplifiers on the Internet. Some are closer to $100 and anything with 25 watts or more should suffice. Since you are using the computer, the radio on a receiver is not necessary since most stations have websites.

I read the entire manual and it didn't say anything about CD changers find out what kind of plug plugs into your radio from changer or ask stereo shop I think there are stereos that accept CD changers but CD changers are old tech. And may have to upgrade to deck with CD player

Hi dave, if you haven't already, I would search on here and eBay for it. Between the two I rarely can't find something like that. If all else fails, I'm sure you could come up with something by emailing Pioneer. Good luck

My advice---Telephone Bose help line and ask them. I have an older Bose Wave Music , and ordered the CD Changer, only to find out the two were not compatible. Bose was good to accept the return, but just to be sure verify compatibility BEFORE ordering.

I would also agree the Sony STRDH130 2-channel receiver would be a good choice to use with the CD player you mentioned. I just recently purchased one and its absolutely fine to get the job done.
