I have a Technics SL20 that I would like to hook up with Klipsch speakers. Do I need a preemp to connect these together?
I have no clue about any of this. I am not even sure how to go about connecting them. To say that I am not tech savvy would be an understatement. I would like to get the best sound possible for my vinyls. Thank you so much!!!!
You need an amplifier or receiver that has a vinyl input, or else a preamp and an amp.. Vinyl players put out an extremely small signal, Same as a microphone. Amplifiers and receivers accept a "line level" signal that phonographs don't produce. So if there isn't a specific 'vinyl' or 'phono' input on you amp or receiver, you will need that preamp to boost the very low phonograph signal to an acceptable line level, which can then be amplified for the speakers.. Got it?!
