Title: help connceting TT
Post by: polkies on May 20, 2010 at 11:24 AM

hi dvdmates,
Somebody gave me old orig vinyl albums, and decided I wanted to hear them, so I bought recently an old turntable pioneer, (condition is with power at 220v/turning/arm working/without the needle) and just sourced it myself, however to my dismay, after installing the needle and setting the vinyl, no sounds can be heard in the speaker. I could hear the a little sound just above the turntable and the needle only.
I tried hooking it up in this condition
1. yamaha avr amplifier at aux/cd/dvd source (no phono)
2. tube amp at cd/aux/dvd (no phono)
Is the turntable can be hook only at phono?
is there a problem with the player?
pls advise Im badly excited in heraing the vinyl, and still got no budget in buying new and 2nd hand branded TT at the moment. Bought the pioneer at P300 hehehehehe

pls advise any technical assistance is highly appreciated

assuming that the stylus and cart was properly installed, you need a phono stage or an amp that has a built-in phono stage.

if you're referring to the phono pre-amp, yes. but try scouting around. there are lots of other options.

Hi! You would need a phono pre-amp/phonostage w/c would "amplify" the signals coming from your turntable...I believe your amplifier doesn't come w/ a phonostage or phono input...An option is to get an external phonostage or get an amplifier w/ a phono input. Thanks and good luck!

PS: If you need a phono pre-amp, I have one for sale via the marketplace. Thanks! :D

whether you get an amp with a built-in phonostage or a separate phono pre-amp, just remember

"Don't let the needle win!" ;D

Naghahanap ako sa Raon ng phono pre-amp, wala naman akong makita.  Saan kaya doon?
