Just a note, whenever you hook a magnetic cartridge turntable up to a reciever you will need a Phono pre-amp, the ceramic needle output don't require one, the magnetic cartridges output is so low you need an "amp" to be able to pre-boost the signal before going into the line level inputs of a reciever.
The trick is in getting a "clean" amp to boost the signal, a low noise to signal ratio. I use an A/C type and even with isolation you still can detect a slight 60 hz a/c hum in the background, it is very low but still it is there. So I would imagine that your battery powered one would be the best choice:)
There is tons of techincal jargon related to this subject but this is the basic facts, 30+ years servicing these products professionally and learning from others has helped me, I hope this helps you:):)
