I have an old Duel turntable. Do I need an amp in addition to this or can I run speakers out from this unit.

Here is an excellent article to help identify what you have and outline what you need: http://turntablelab.com/pages/beginners-guide-to-turntables (What you're asking is covered in the section "2.1 Simplified Turntable Setup with Active Speakers")

You will need both a pre-amp and an amplifier to drive speakers. Many integrated amplifiers and receivers have a phono pre-amp built in. This unit is only for pre-amplification or driving headphones. It is not appropriate for speakers. I would suggest before trying to build a system around your Dual you check and insure it is running on speed. You will probably also need to purchase a new phono cartridge.

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.

You can't use this alone, you need a power amp or receiver. NO you can't! This is not a power amp.

Hi, I think you meant receiver or integrated instead of straight amplifier. If you connect to a Auxiliary input or tape in etc. you would need a Phono pre-amp (step up transformer) then use the chassis screw to ground the turntable.

Yes you can run your turntable. BTW, be careful when you purchase this item. I read many reviews and they are for the most part correct. The sound is not that great and it has some distortion.

You will probably need a cable to pick up the RCA output on your turntable and terminates in a single 1/4" or XLR input for the speakers. I didn't notice an RCA input

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.

you will need an amp/receiver, make sure that the model you elect will accommodate a turntable or you will need a phono-preamp as well.

i,m not sure but i think you. would need some type of amplficatio between the speakers and the turntable.

With this turntable you could have almost any kind of setup. It has a built in pre-amp. Meaning you could use this on a bookshelf system if thats what you have. I myself have a mid 90's Technics receiver that I ultimately route through my Sony 7.1 receiver which has no turntable pre-amp built in. My room is set up strange so I have large RCA cables going from the Technics (that the turntable is plugged into) into the Sony. Sound confusing? Dont let it be...whatever you may have, be it micro system or whatever, as long as you have an open AUX,PHONE,whatever STEREO input, you'll be fine. Just make sure if said system doesnt have a built in phono pre-amp, you switch the pre-amp on the turn table on and you're good to go

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

You shouldn't need a separate preamp since most modern turntables already have preamps built in. So if you want to buy one just in case, do so but it shouldn't be needed.

No. You need a pre amp for a turntable in addition to an amp (which is this product )

Of course you can connect a turntable to this amp. That is what I have done. However, you need to first connect the turntable to a pre-amp (or soundstage) to boost the signal from phono level to line level. You can get a pre-amp for $20 or even less. No need to spend a lot on this component.

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.

This is not an integrated receiver. It is an amplifier. Likewise, you would not connect this to an integrated receiver.You will need nothing except speaker wires (obviously) to connect your speakers. However, for the turntable, you will need a phono preamp. This is not unusual; you would need a separate phono preamp for almost any modern receiver or preamp/amp combo these days as manufacturers do not include them much anymore.

Yes you can. This deck has a USB cable and two RCA cables. You can plug the cables into you receiver's or amplifier's line inputs. An older piece of equipment might have phono inputs. Do not connect this turntable into the phono inputs as the pre-amplified signal might damage you amplifier or receiver.

If your turntable does not have an internal preamp, then you will need an external phono preamp prior to input into one of the audio inputs on the receiver. Decent ones are available for about $50: http://www.amazon.com/ART-II-Preamplifier-Outputs-Switchable/dp/B000AJR482

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
