>Hi guys, this is my first post. I want to get into listening to vinyl, and I don't have any records or a turntable. What are your suggestions on purchasing my first turntable, and what else will I need with the turntable in order to star listening to music? I know I'll need speakers, but is there anything else required, or are speakers and a turntable then records all that I need? What is a good site to learn about turntables etc? Thanks a lot, Ian<
Hi Ian,
You'll need an amplifier to driver the speakers, and a preamp with a phono stage in it for the cartridge in your turntable/tonearm combo. Without that phono stage, the sound will be of low volume and very thin sounding.
