Magnepan Unitrac 1 is a low mass (7g effective mass) tonearm, work best with med-high compliance cartridge. I suggest you get a inexpensive MM cartridge to setup the turntable, make sure the table and arm are in good working order before you go any further.
Recievers, Pre amps and amps.
I am new to this turntable hookup.
I have a Thorens TD 166 MKII with a Magnepan Unitrac 1 tonearm.
I was looking at getting a Vintage receiver. But know I am wondering do I need a Pre amp and a amp.
I am not even sure how you would hook up a system like that.
Any info appreciated.
