So I have a Bellari VP130 MM Tube Phono Preamplifier With Headphone Amplifier, pioneer elite - elite 560w 7.1-ch. reciever and Music Hall MMF 2.2LE 2-Speed Limited Edition Audiophile Turntable. I have it running through my CD output because there isnt...

Yancy, you need to buy a phono pre amp. They boost the signal to line level. gerard masters

You need a PHONO input or an accessory PHONO pre amplifier add on. My guess is that you can not easily connect, but a work around is often possible with small expense.

Hi,You don't need the Bellary VP130 with that turntable. I thimk the AT-LP60 doesn't need a Pre Amp. Check on that first. On the other hand, the outputs of both, the turntable and the preamp (bellari) are RCA cables. I didn't see that input on the yamaha HS5. Check on that also...Alfredo

Unlike line level audio sources like DVD/CD players, tape decks, FM tuners, mini disc, etc., which have output voltages anywhere from 0.7V to 2.5V, the output voltage from a magnetic cartridge installed in a turntable is very low (2-5mV), and requires additional amplification. This additional amp stage, the phono pre amp, was built into most older receivers and audio amplifiers, allowing direct connection of a turntable. However, since the CD entered the market (early 1980's), the vinyl records and turntables were declared obsolete. Audio equipment manufacturers slowly phased the phono pre amp out. Newer stereo equipment, including most mini-systems and home theater units, have no magnetic cartridge phono input. In order to connect a turntable, you need to first pass the signal thru a phono RIAA equalization pre amp.

Looking at the connectors on the back, I don't see a "Phono" jack. You'll need to get a pre-amp (they're not expensive) to hook your turntable to, then the preamp output to the receiver. (My current Pioneer, which I got a couple of years ago, doesn't have phono inputs so that's what I had to do. NBD, really.) FWIW, I jumped on this deal because of the versatility of the connectors. I have a ceiling-mounted projector that is component input only, so this will allow me to have HDMI blu-ray into the receiver, and component outputs to the projector.

I am not 100% sure of what you're asking, however . . . I use mine with an Onkyo Receiver that has a phono input. However the, the volume was so low that I could not get enough volume on the recordings (CD or mp3 via PC in my case). I could just crank the volume while listening w/o getting excess noise, but that was not the case when recording. So, my turntable is plugged into the ART DJPRE II phone, which in turn is plugged into a line-level input on the receiver, and all is well. Was the what you were asking?

I assume that you are using a standard LP record player. Most amps today do not handle conventional phonos, however, an inexpensive pre-amp between the player and any amp will take care of this.

If the receiver does not have a pre-amp section you will get almost no sound from the turntable. Yes, this will work. You will need to put the turntable RCA jacks into the phono input and plug the output from this box into a input into the back of the receiver (CD, line in, or aux or something similar to that) be sure to plug in the power cube and switch the button in the front to phono.

Hi, Definitely, the sound will improved. The build in phono preamp sound quality is low in order to keep the cost down. To disable the build in preamp, the phono cartridge will has to be wired directly to the input of the external phono preamp. Your AT LP120 may already have RCA jacks and or switches to bypass the build in preamp. Look at the turntable manual. In general, vacuum tube preamps sound better than solid state or transistor preamp. The vacuum tube preamp is more expensive than the solid state preamp. Bellari VP130 is an exception. It is excellent in sound at low cost. RegardsDanai Hi, Definitely, the sound will improved. The build in phono preamp sound quality is low in order to keep the cost down.

The turntable has to plug into the preamp at "phono". The turntable has standard RCA jacks for that. Then I assume the 3.55 mm plug goes from the preamp to the speakers. That is my best guess. Good luck!

Hi Coffee Drinker. I'm happy to try to help, though I only drink tea. This turntable must be attached to a receiver (or integrated amplifier, or amplifier + preamp) which has a phono stage. The connectors look the same, but a phono stage must have a much stronger amplifier than, say, a CD player, because a phonograph puts out a much lower signal. If your receiver (or other setup) does not have a phono stage, as many new ones don't (because few people use records any more), then you must get an external phono stage. So, assuming you have a receiver with a phono stage, here's the setup: you plug the 2-wire cable which comes hard-wired into the TT into the phono input of your receiver (left and right, as this is a stereo TT); then of course the receiver is attached to your speakers. If you don't have a phono stage, then you must get an external one to which you attach your TT cable; and then the phono stage is connected to any of the line stages such as the one for a CD player (they're all the same) in the receiver and then the signal plays through your receiver and out to the speakers. Hope this helps.

If by low output you mean a low output moving coil cartridge, this will not work for you. You will need a true MC capable phono preamplifier connected to a line level (such as tape or CD) input. You can not "piggyback" preamplifiers. Make sure you truly have a low output MC cartridge as they are rare, expensive and used only by purist audiophiles who really already know these things (no offence).

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.

There is an RIAA EQ built into every phono preamp. If you plug a phono preamp into a phono preamp, the result will be bad sound.

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.

Hey Gary, as long as you have no pre amplified signal going to the Bellari that should work. About the sound quality... yes you will fell some new sound experience ... however you will be using a non pure anagogic turntable, the tube amps works better with analog signal, but I think you will notice a bettering in sound quality.

ART DJPRE II Phono preamp is designed to amplify vinyl signals then fed to an amplifier system, works perfect with a tube/valve stereo amplifier to enjoy great sounding music. Connection to a tv is possible through an available RCA audio input but won't recommend doing it.
