Compatible speakers? I recently bought a Sony PSLX250H Turntable from Amazon, expecting it to have built in speakers, it does not. So, currently I cannot listen to my records which sucks. The audio cables coming from the player are unlike any speaker cables I've ever seen and I'm wondering if anyone has purchased this machine and possibly knows which speakers are compatible with it. The cables look like the red, white, and yellow A/V cables except without the yellow prong. Any help would be appreciated. Compatible speakers?

i have the same problem, you need to buy a special sound system which will have a place in it to plug in the red and white cords from your record player.

I believe you're looking for this: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp;_id=10218&cs;_id=1021804&p;_id=665&seq;=1&format;=2It would let you plug the turntable into anything that has one of those headphone jack-sized audio inputs (for example 99.9% of the computers on the market have those inputs, and also a lot of stereos). Otherwise, yes, they do make speakers that have standard RCA plugs, but why buy new speakers when you likely have a stereo or computer with speakers attached to them already :)

I have mine hooked up to the TEAC AG-790A Stereo Receiver (bought on Amazon and very happy) and then from the receiver to the Sony SSF-5000 Floor Standing 3-way Speaker (Pair). Great sound and can't beat the price. I also went to Best Buy and bought a cable to plug my Iphone into the receiver for $10. Over all a great system for under $350.TEAC AG-790A Stereo ReceiverSony SSF-5000 Floor Standing 3-way Speaker (Pair)

Hey, I am buying speakers for a friend who has the same turntable - did you ever find a good solution / speakers? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you find a solution? I'm facing the same dilemma now. Have the turntable, trying to figure out what I need to buy to go with it and am a novice at this. Besides speakers, do you need the stereo receiver or anything else?

I have RCA wires connecting from the back of the turntable into AuidoEngine A5 external speakers....but the external speakers have no sound coming out of them....any ideas as to why? I wouldn't think I need a phono preamp...

Hello Susan I purchased this turntable two years ago using Windows 7 no problems I believe you have a faulty unit. Also, I purchased `Spin Again' software for downloading lps. Very easy more user friendly than audacity

i have to agree with bruce ditto and find out how old the turntable is maybe get a newer one from amazon get the one thats direct drive because belt driven tends to break down the road and the belts can be hard to come by unless you order some ahead good luck and get yourself an eq with that hk youll discover whole new sound

You will need a receiver to drive speakers. The turntable will work with any receiver.

This turntable comes with a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, so any speakers that can plug into those will work!

You can connect turntables to the Pioneer DDJ SX, however it is not capable of running DVS, only vinyl records. The Pioneer DDJ SX2 has DVS capability. Cheers.

Hi,I believe you need a P-Mount cartridge for this type of turntable - the kind that "plugs in"Please let me know if you have any other questions, I will do my best to assist you.JenniferMillennium Worldwide

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.

The Marantz TT42P is a nice piece of equipment. It works well. I found almost no staticwhen playing old Vinyl records. If your amplifier has phono input that means you cannot use a turntable with a preamp. You have to buy a turntable without a preamp!

Hi, Tyler. I am not sure about the newer records. Ours are mostly from the 60s and they do quite well. I would think the newer ones would be OK depending on what the recommendations from the manufacturer say. If you know someone who has this entertainment system, you might try it first before you decide to purchase one for yourself. Probably not much help for you but I haven't even seen any new records yet. I may try it if I can find a new record somewhere that isn't too expensive.

Hello. I have not used these speakers with my main audio system, which has a turntable. So I can't answer to your first question. But considering the characteristics of the speakers, I think "why not?" They are fine bookshelf speakers. Vocal or strings sounds good. So I think they are good for a turntable also. For your second question, if you ask whether the speakers have an internal amplifier, as like Audioengine A5, the answer is "no." They don't amplify sound nor require separate electric power.

As with most speakers, it uses an eighth-inch jack just like a headphone jack, so yes, it is compatible. They are as durable as any speakers should be, which shouldn't necessarily be very much so, since they do nothing but sit on a table or shelf. They have worked for me functionally for three months.

Hi Connie, I'm glad that my Amazon peers were able to help you with your question. Enjoy the use of the speakers, they're great!

There is no "phono" input on this receiver, so it doesn't have a preamp. You can use another RCA input (I am using "Tape"), but that will only work depending on your turntable, and if it has a built-in preamp. If your turntable has a "phono" out or phono switch/setting, it will work. I have one connected and it works fine. Otherwise, you will need to buy a little $20 preamp. If you are only looking to power your speakers for a turntable, this is probably not the receiver for you.

Hi Michael C., available audio port for this Sony LBT-ZX66i is a PHONO IN L/R jacks (red/white). You may check your turntable if it supports this kind of connection. -Ely

If your TT42 version has the phono preamp (there are two versions of the TT42, one with and one without), then yes. Otherwise you will need to install a phono preamp on the turntable output. Definitely worth it if space is a premium in your room. We use it as the sound for our living room tv. Right now, I'm streaming audio off my server. Definitely worth the purchase. IMHO. Our great room runs a full Marantz home theater setup (speakers excepted). Been a fan of Marantz for long time. Right price for what you get.
