Swamp is correct, you should consider a real preamp for best sound ..do not over look this important stage it is the most profound effect on how well the system will sound besides speakers. A good sounding preamp is what your system really needs to bring out the dynamics and soundstage.
New to turntables - does this gear combo work?
Hi All,
This is my very first post on the forum, but I've been browsing heavily the past week or so once I decided that I wanted to take the leap into vinyl. I can pick up some gear locally for a nice price, and I'm wondering if these things are compatible with one another. I can get a Pro-Ject Debut III turntable, a Pro-Ject "Phono Box" preamp, and a pair of Audioengine A2 powered speakers.
Do those work together? If I understand correctly, I can connect the preamp to the turntable and then the speakers into the preamp without a power amp because they are powered speakers. I realize this may not sound amazing, but I have virgin ears when it comes to vinyl anyway and right now I just want something kinda nice to start with. I know enough to not consider Crosley or low end Audio Technica.
Thanks very much in advance!
