I have acoustech speakers connected to the gemtune, which is connected to a turntable, it seems like I'm not getting all the volume I should be. Tips?

Don't know if this will help, I have Bose 301s hooked up volume is sufficient it does not blast but the sound is great.

Do you have A phono-stage pre-amp hooked up between turntable and amplifier? I've got an old Electro-Accompaniet phono preamp & get lots of volume from my Oris 200 horn speakers

Dear customer, you need to add another phono pre-amp if you connect to a turntable

Hey, I am buying speakers for a friend who has the same turntable - did you ever find a good solution / speakers? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There could be something wrong with your receiver. What kind do you have? Do other inputs play through both speakers just fine? In order to diagnose it, try hooking up the turntable to a different receiver to see if that works. Something also could have come loose--either the grounding wire, or the plugs themselves.

I seem to have the same problem. I am not well versed in audio components and assume that that must be normal. I am hopeful someone will have a better answer or can offer a solution.

if it is an audio technica atpl120, then it already has a phono preamp, so if you hook it up to a stereo or headphones, you should be hearing it in full volume control. so I would think just hooking it up to your headphones will give you full volume. 1980s or older turntables don't have a preamp so they relied on specially revamped phono audio hookups, but yours already is preamped so you don not need any addition preamp devices.

I've asked the same thing and no one answered. The volume is plenty loud enough, but I notice there is 'vibrations' if I turn it up too loud. I'd love to know about speakers as well!

if you have hiss it may be the source signal not the speaker. The source maybe to high. Turn on your audio source then turn thr music all the way down. if you hear the hiss than its your source not the speaker

yea, you have 3 external outputs: headphone jack, RCA output, and L/R for speakers. i do recommend an amp or powered speakers because the volume is pretty low, and also you dont get a lot of treble when playing your vinyl.

I have RCA wires connecting from the back of the turntable into AuidoEngine A5 external speakers....but the external speakers have no sound coming out of them....any ideas as to why? I wouldn't think I need a phono preamp...

Not at all. Do you have another amp to test the output on your source? The amp gets uncomfortably loud at just half volume with my Klipsch RM-15's. I've used it with far less efficient speakers and still it got very loud!Check your source...

I am driving a pair of small speakers. I plugged the PCA1 into the TV audio output and keep the PCA1 volume at about 3/4 way up. My speakers are than adjusted in volume with my TV volume control. You may have to adjust the volume to your liking.

Nothing I tried that and got nothing. .i even bought a y splitter to run 2 sets of speakers and got this loud humming sound!!

Mine is in a home stereo setup. Quietest turntable I've ever had. I had issues with the same cartridge because of the high output. Changed them out and no more hum.

I have the same setup as you mentioned. I used a splitter thinking I would be achieving a fuller sound. Sounds great to me. Good luck. Bill

The problem is not just the speakers. There isn't sufficient amplification to product acceptable sound levels.best to get a sound bar or an inexpensive receiver and speakers. YMMV

I just connected one of my turntables and it will work, BUT with a very low output at speakers. You will need a preamp.
