Just a power amp, turntable and speakers?

What is the reason that you need a pre-amp? If I only want to listen to records on an older Marantz turntable, can I simply run it into a high powered power amp and out to some floor speakers? I'd be interested in hearing any and all opinions/input on this topic.

thanks!

Yes, the Scott unit does have a pre-out.

Are you sure that it is pre-amp out, and not just a tape out, which will not have volume control.

Damn, you're right. It's just a tape out. I was thinking it had a true pre-out because that's what the seller told me. Not a big deal, I didn't pay much for it.

I'm going to get something new I think. I'll read up a bit on this site first, for sure.
