A: Hello. The TT-15S1 does require a pre-amp. If you want to keep things simple, you can opt for an amplifier with the phono pre-amp built-in. Our PM7000N is our recommendation because not only does it have a phono pre-amp built-in, but it also has a HEOS engine. This means you can partner it with wired speakers, or with Denon's Home wireless speakers (they come in three sizes and a wireless sub-woofer can be added too). The HESO engine in the PM7000N also provides you with access to many popular streaming services such as Pandora, Spotify, Tidal, Amazon HD, SiriusXM and TuneIn Radio.
