thanks guys I really appreciate it I'm gonna check that out.
What speakers to get?? Help
I recently purchased a turntable (Audio Technica AT-LP120) and am looking for the best speakers for it under $250-college student budget. It has a built in pre-amp. I don't know too much about this stuff so asking all you experts there. I listen to folk, rock, classic rock, metal. mostly classic rock. Thank you!

Guys, when he says the Audio Technica AT-LP120 has a built-in preamp, he only means that it has a built-in *phono stage*. It does not have a line stage or volume control, though I suppose you could use the powered speakers' volume control, but that's presuming that the gain coming off the AT's built- in phono stage has sufficiently high output. In that case, scrape up the extra $50 and get the AudioEngine A5 for $299. It even has a master volume control on the front of the speaker that contains all the electronics. Otherwise, get a pair of these Pioneer speakers and a used integrated amp (preferably NAD) for around $100. Other decent affordable used integrated amps are available from Onkyo, Denon, Harman Kardon, Kenwood, Yamaha, etc., but the NAD is almost a sure thing. |
