I am not a vinyl person in anyway. I say this asking, what streaming service are you using for your KEF speakers? If the answer is not QOBUZ, I suggest you try that and then compare that sound quality against what you hear with your vinyl. Not trying to convert, just giving an option before spending some money on a new amp and speaker system for vinyl playback.
Also, are you using a subwoofer?
Turntable-Amplifier-Speaker configuration question.
Sorry if this is a silly question, but I am getting back into home audio for the first time in many, many years. I recently got back into vinyl and purchased a Technics SL-1500C with a pair of KEF LSXII speakers. It sounds great, but apparently the amount of volume I can get to the speakers is limited because of the Phono to AUX routing I need to use into the speakers. I tried using a Denon amplifier to see if I could get a louder signal, but that didn't help. I am wondering if someone could suggest a setup for my turntable that would get me the fullest possible range of volume. I am open to starting with replacing the speakers and purchasing a new amplifier/reciever.

@nickb64 - You stated "Phono to AUX routing". Can you clarify if that means you are going directly from the turntable to the speakers Aux input; or if that means Phono preamp to speaker Aux input. If you mean the former than the issue would be not having a phono preaamp and one that appropriately matches the cartridge you are using, whatever that may be as you didn’t mention it |
