Well, on second thought, maybe not. When I was in college, I had a make-shift stereo where the left channel was a Heathkit mono + speaker, and the right-channel a Fender Bandmaster (slightly 'rebuilt'--in those days it was rumored that the speakers from RadioShack were identical to the originals. Who knows?). Alas, I knew nothing about pre-amps (the guy who sold the family the Heathkit hadn't mentioned that), so it required a crappy ceramic cartridge for the TT. Wonder what that would have sounded like with a modern cd-player! It sure would have been loud enough.
