From what I understand, this turntable doesn't come with internal speakers. Which external speakers would you recommend I get with this?

I use a $79 pair of iHome speakers with an iPod dock - a few years old, but the system sounds great. You could also buy something like a Focus 2.1 system with a subwoofer and two speakers for $500 if you're looking for higher quality.

Yes. I hooked 'em up to a pair of AudioEngine A5+ speakers - as recommended by the WSJ. My system works great. It's even easier to move to another room than most turntable hook-ups.

You will need powered external speakers if you plan not to use a receiver. In other words, speakers which have their own volume control.

Powered speakers will do. Audioengine for instance, are good. Check those out.

I purchased these:(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008NCD2LG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) along with me turntable. Great sound for the money, and small and nice looking so they fit in anywhere. Keep in mind you also need an audio reciever and speaker wire to complete your setup.

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!!

No! But the inbuilt sound system is pretty great. Try "Crosley Mini Turntable", also listed on Amazon, if you want one with auxiliary output.

Although I don't have a turntable, it does have phono (RCA) inputs for one. I'm sure you can google the manual online.

Yeah, this turntable needs an amp. Or you can use on a computer too on USB. But amp, home theater, are the best option.

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.

You have to have speakers and a stereo receiver or amplifier. The turntable comes with a belt for the drive and a cartridge with needle already installed.

You'll need cables to connect the speakers to the amp. The turntable has it's own cables.It's a nice setup, you'll be happy with the quality of the sound.

It does come with internal speakers, which are really not nearly as bad as you might imagine. That being said, I always use external speakers because I already had them. I think you'd be surprised by the quality of the internal speakers.

Hey Geron, you can't use that turntable with new receivers. Older receivers had a phono preamp but not the new stuff. There is a headphone jack that you could hook up a speaker to, but I wouldn't suggest it. The jack is a large one, so cables could be an issue. I would get an inexpensive surround sound receiver to link it up. Email me at tundrausher@yahoo.com if you have more questions. Good luck.

The correct order would be turntable--&gt;preamp---&gt;DTI. Be sure to eliminate hum from phono cartridge wires running too close to TT motor. Also be sure to plug TT and preamp into the same outlet/power strip. Use quality RCA shielded cables and not some old RCA unshielded cables used for some cheap speakers.

You'll need speaker cables from the amp to the speakers. You'll need audio cables from the turntable to the amp. Not sure if those come with your turntable, but neither come with the speakers. You may also need a phono pre-amp depending on your turntable.

This turntable should have a pre amp built in. If it doesnt you will need it. I have the audio technica lp 120 and the pre amp on that is fine

....... You will need to purchase an external phono pre amp. There are many good, and resonably priced units available from a wide variety of manufacturers. How much you will need to spend will be determined by the quality of your turntable, tonearm, and cartridge.

No you do not need external speakers. However, you may want to have them, since the tv is small and therefore so are the internal speakers.

Definitely. The sound on this machine is great. Our house is not huge, but the sound fills the room that the record player is in, and can also be heard quite clearly both upstairs and down (we have a backsplit). There is absolutely no need for external speakers.

Hi Ann, you need an amplifier. You can't directly connect this on a turntable. -Vincent

Honestly I would just return the thing. You can get a turntable that actually works and puts out decent sound for a lower price. I sent mine back the day after it arrived because it sounded like a tin can.
