As Stevey and Yifan said, plain wire is fine for the speakers.I'm wondering a bit about your turntable, though, because if it doesn't have a built-in phono preamp that increases the signal coming out of the cartridge, it won't work with the Lepai amp. The Lepai amp has only "line level" inputs such as you would plug a tuner or CD player into (it also has a jack for stuff like MP3 players, iPods, phones, etc.). It doesn't have a phono input. If your turntable has to be plugged into a phono input, it will play only at very low volume with the Lepai. If that's the case, you can still buy an inexpensive phono preamp that will solve the problem.

just speaker wire is fine, you press the buttons on the back of the amp and then shove it in the holes then release the buttons. For the back of the speakers you loosen the terminals by hand and holes should appear from the top/bottom and you put the stripped end of the wire in there and tighten it up!

I don't understand your question--you speak of connecting one regular speaker wire to these rca connections, but this _is_ the speaker wire, so it sounds as if you're asking about connecting a speaker wire to the speaker wire. This product is only used to connect speakers that have a single rca input on the back to a receiver, so on one end of each wire there's a male rca jack, and on the other there's two strands of bare copper wire that you connect to the positive and negative terminals on the back of your receiver. The rca jack does not plug into the receiver, as there's only one rca plug per wire--so if you're looking for speaker wire with rca plugs on the receiver end, this isn't the right product for you.

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

The old fashioned speaker wire works just fine. You can use banana plugs or screw tighten the copper wire.

A PREamp is just that, it raises the signal coming from a device like your turntable. You still need a main AMP to connect the preamp to. The main AMP connects to the speakers. If you have powered speakers like computer speakers or a sound bar you would connect this to the turntable and the powered speakers or sound bar as they have an amp in them. If they are plain old speakers you need a main amp which will probably have a preamp in it for turntables. You would need to read the specs.

Banana plugs are not absolutely necessary. You can just do the bare wire install. As for performance, I doubt you will be able to tell the difference. What matters most here is the type of rating of the speaker wire that you use. I used the 16-gauge variety and my system sounds great. I originally ran out of the 16-gauge speaker wire and bought some cheap thin one at walmart only to find out that there was hardly any sound coming out of one of my satellite speakers. Good luck with your system.

If the question is in regard to speaker wire connections, these speakers take an open speaker wire. I would purchase a set (4) of banana plugs from Amazon, Home Depot or an electronic store. There are many different variations that boast different quality sound so that in itself is a decision. See the video below for a quick video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybRqeCkgXWs If the video is in regard to mounting, I would suggest you mount them to whatever you are mounting the projector to. The bracket shown has a set of 8 elongated holes, to accommodate for smaller or larger mounting applications. The speakers come with stainless steel screws that work well with wood, make sure to use a pilot hole so not to splinter the wood.

Banana plug to banana plug. Most speakers these days have 5 way banana plug binding post connectors that will also accept bare wire.

This line amp has standard rca outputs - if your turntable doesn't have rca's, you can find adapters on line that will convert the rca's to proprietary connectors. This is a great little line amp

Not sure what you mean by connectors. If you are referring to speaker wire, you can use standard banana plugs or bare speaker wire.Eric C

Thanks for your question. It comes without the ability to connect a turntable but you can connect one using an external phono preamp such as the NAD PP4. This is a fantastic sounding amplifier. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Peachtree dealer.

I purchased some 'Banana Plugs' much like these: Soundsoul 24k Gold Connector Banana Plugs, Open Screw Type 24 Pack (12 Red, 12 Black) They are simple to affix to your speaker wiring and will plug into the fittings on the rear of the Sony unit with ease. Directly wiring the terminals is possible, but tiring and difficult. The plugs are the way to go.

For speakers to work directly with the turntable they have to be powered speakers - the kind that have to be plugged in to electrical power as well as to a sound source. Otherwise you'll need a receiver to connect between the turntable and the speakers

The speaker has two sets of binding posts connected by jumpers. Using the dual binding posts, you can bi-amp or bi-wire the speakers. The binding post terminals will accept banana plugs (single only), pin-connectors, spade-connectors, and bare wire.

I grounded my turntable to the pre amp. Look. At the back of the pre amp for a ground bolt

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.

I use the closed screw type on the amplifier end as it makes for a clean connection. Utilizing open type at the amp end will cause the lower row of speaker connections to get in the way of the upper connections (I use large diameter speaker cable). Conversely, at the speaker end, I use the open screw type which (since the cable connects in perpendicular to the plug) allows me to immediately direct the cable to the floor, keeping it hidden, and also reduces the strain on the connection points.
