Can I use this with a turntable that uses a moving coil cartridge?

I don't think so. If you want to use a MC cartridge, you can connect the turntable output to a phono preamp that is in turn connected to the PM8004 via the AUX input. I have done so myself using a Jolida JD9, which can be used with either MM or MC. BTW, my turntable has an MM cartridge but I found the built-in phono stage of the PM8004 of rather poor quality. The sound was thin and mushy and lacking punch. The Jolida JD9 (with new old stock Telefunken tubes) turns it into the best phono sound I've ever heard be it jazz or light pop music. The JD9 is somewhat expensive but there are cheaper phono stages (under $200) that connect to both MM and MC cartridges. I don't think so.

Thanks for your question. This amazing sounding receiver is set up for moving magnet. To use a moving coil you would need to use moving coil step-up transformer.

An MC cart wouldn't work. This receiver has a MM (moving magnet) input (same as my current receiver). To use an MC (moving coil) cartridge you would need a phono pre amp and connect it through the line/aux input. An MC cartridge has much lower output. BIG upgrade though IMHO.

This will work with any turntable/headshell that uses a standard mount -- but I should note that this is not a P-mount type.

Yes, this cartridge should work with all vintage turntable. It comes as a P-mount and an adapter for old style mounting.

I don't know, but the turntable I have is packaged with other devices and couldn''t find a brand. I had the old needle and took a chance matching it by sight---the sales pictures were quite good---and got the exact needle I needed. Good luck!

Hi, I'm not familiar with that turntable, but if it accepts a USB connection, I would think so. Hope this helps.

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

I don't quite understand your question. Will you be playing 78 RPM records? If so you will need a cartridge with a 78 RPM stylus for these records as they are made of shellac and the grooves are wider. if you are referring to replacing your current needle with a 78 RPM needle I would have to know the cartridge model in order to make a recommendation.

That will work if you have a phono preamplifier between the turntable & the T1 (some turntables have a built in pre - you should check that to find out). However the line-in doesn't have access to the tube buffer so only the PC will be able to use that. It's possible a USB turntable could use the USB input & then it would go through the tube buffer. Most USB TT's have a built -in pre - however they are not usually thought of as particularly high level TT's. You would also have to switch between using the PC & the TT in that case.

Yes, it will work with almost any turntable. There are better cartridges out there for not too much more that will make your turntable really come to life, but this one will do a fine job.

This is just the stylus, which attaches to the cartridge (the cartridge is what attaches to the arm on the turntable). If you have an Ortofon cartridge, this will work with it.

I don't believe this would be a good thing to try. You could damage your amp/receiver with the higher output of this pre-amplifier. I myself would not attempt this. Your money would be better spent on a new cartridge with a higher millivolt output rating.

A little more info...the stock cartridge uses a ceramic (piezoelectric) element to produce a signal. A modern magnetic cartridge is more accurate, but I'm not sure if this cartridge/tonearm conforms to either the 1/2" mount or the T4P (P-mount) standard. If you can fit a magnetic cartridge, the preamp electronics in the turntable might not work with it properly. Ceramic and magnetic cartridges require different circuit designs to produce a correctly equalized and amplified output.

You can use it with anything that has a "audio line out". Google connecting a turntable to audio amp.

Not sure... If the turntables output is equivalent to a cd player it would work... Not sure of the output of the turntable.

I used the Audio Technica on my 40 year old Dual turntable and it works well. I had some difficulty attaching the wires from my Dual tonearm to the universal cartridge adapter as the pins on the adapter were a little bit large, but I finally got them attached. The sound from the AT cartridge is excellent.

Yes. A record player (turntable) that uses a cartridge with a stylus that generates electricity via a moving magnet (or moving coil) requires a separate pre-amp (with RIAA/NAB equalization) for the phono circuit before plugging into a line level input such as on this unit.

Check your amplifier/receiver and see if it has a phono RCA input on the back. You should also see a ground wire screw as well. If it doesn't have this and doesn't say phono you will need a preamp. Also check what type of cartridge the turntable has, most common is MM Moving Magnet so a common preamp will do. If the cartridge is a MC Moving Coil you will need a more powerful preamp. Many preamps will tell you on the box if they can amplify a MC signal. If you have a not that expensive table you probably have a MM cartridge and a regular phono preamp will suffice.
