I have a Yamaha HTR 5063 receiver and a 1980 era Technics turntable. I need a preamp as the sound currently is very dim will this work?.

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.

Works great with my vintage B&O - the bigger expense was getting the turntable repaired.

It should that what my phono player was doing and it worked for me but I plugged into my surround sound system worked perfectly

you will have to run the preamp into to an aux. input for it to work. The preamp boosts the signal to a level that the receiver can handle.

I have a cheap all-in-one receiver and a 1970's Phillips turntable. The sound was very dim, as you say. The TCC TC-753LC pre-amp did the trick. My old albums sound great with plenty of volume. Mind you, I don't have a high quality receiver and was just glad to get any sound out of the old turntable.

I have a Yamaha 5750 receiver and a 1980's era Technics quartz direct drive turntable. Everything works great running through this preamp. I have the preamp running through the CD input (I listen to CD's in my Blue Ray player).

No, you will not need a pre-amp. I have a SONY turntable hooked up to mine as ,works great!

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.

I'm no expert but you'll probably need a pre-amp if your receiver doesnt have a phono input and or was built in the two decades. If you dont have a pre-amp then your record will be fine but you wont be able to hear it and you may damage your receiver. It would be great if you can find someone to loan you one just to test it.

Maybe you need some sort of pre amp for the turntable for it to run on your receiver, Shure used to make one but I haven't seen one in quite a while. Do you have access to any other receiver to see if it works ok...it may just be faulty. Without getting my hands on it is hard to say just what the issue is.

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.

Yes It should work. You want to connect the turntable to the pre amp and then connect the preamp to your amp.

Do you have A phono-stage pre-amp hooked up between turntable and amplifier? I've got an old Electro-Accompaniet phono preamp & get lots of volume from my Oris 200 horn speakers

probably not...what this unit does is amplify the signal from a turntable to a tape deck output because most newer amps don't have a source input for phono.

Yes,it has a built in phono pre-amp and will work through either an aux,cd,or tape input. You just make sure that the turntable is on the correct setting,it also has a setting that bypasses the built in setting for use with an amp that has it's own phono pre-amp,I have an older receiver that has one built in.

Zachary...you will need another form of amplifier to drive these speakers. The pre-amp on your turntable is for connecting to vintage amplifiers without a pre-amp for a turntable or similiar device. I believe you should turn the pre-amp off if you are running your turntable through a modern receiver or amplifier. Modern amps should have a turntable pre-amp built in if they have phono capability. Hope this helped.

Hi, Michael... I haven't played any records since I had this reciever until I read your e-mail. It took me a couple of minutes to coax my ancient turntable into playing, but it did play a record just fine... I turned the volume up to about 22 and it sounded great, and I don't have a pre-amp in my system. I hope it helps and if you buy this receiver, I think you'll be happy...we've enjoyed ours and have had no problems with it. We're not real serious audiophiles, but it does sound very nice on our CDs and radio use. Good luck...best regards... Doug in Niceville, FL

Very few receivers these days have a Phono input, and this one does not. You will need to get a preamp to take the phono output and amplify it to line level, then use either Audio 1 or Audio 2. I can highly recommend this: TCC TC-750LC BLACK Professional Moving Magnet Preamp This unit also works very nicely to plug into a line-in jack on a PC sound card for ripping vinyl to MP3s. The only turntables that will not require a preamp are some newer ones that have it built in.

I just connected one of my turntables and it will work, BUT with a very low output at speakers. You will need a preamp.

Basically any receiver/amp will work with this unit as long as the inputs are RCA jacks and that's pretty much all of them. Here's how it breaks down. All turntables require a pre-amp before the signal goes to the main amplifier. Most modern receivers do not have a dedicated slot for turntables any longer. So most turntables include the pre-amp built in. The switch for the pre-amp is on the back of the Audio Technica. * So if your receiver has a setting for "Phonograph", "Phono" or "Turntable" you're good to go. Just switch the pre-amp Off on the back of the turntable. * If your receiver doesn't have a setting for "Phonograph", or one of the a fore mentioned, then turn the switch On. That's it. Simple. Just be aware that should you buy a receiver without a "Phonograph" input you will loose the slot for whatever peripheral should go there. In my case I use an Onkyo CR-315 Shelf Unit. I plug my Audio Tecnica into the "Dock" slot. This is to be used with a special docking device that allows you to plug in an iPod. I know longer have this device, so no harm no fowl. If however I did have this device and needed to use it, I would constantly be switching between these two devices on my receiver. So just make sure you have enough inputs to avoid this potential hassle. Really, the only thing you need to look for on a receiver is to make sure it excepts inputs through RCA jacks and again, that's pretty much the standard. As to brand, that's up to you as far as your needs and budget.

Look at the back of the set. There is an input set for "Phono." When I had a turntable, which I no longer have, this input jack sufficed on any receiver I ever owned - without a preamp. I would assume that is the case with this receiver. If you are uncomfortable without knowing for certain. I would suggest researching on the Yamaha website.

Yes, because of the USB capabilities, I believe this model has a pre-amp already installed in it. Some receivers have a pre-amp installed, if there is a "phono" input. Mine does not and I use the "CD" input. I haven't tried it, but I would assume you could connect the turntable directly to speakers and it would be fine.
