Q: What kind of speakers does one need?
A: This turntable is designed to be used in conjunction with a component stereo receiver. It features RCA outputs which would connect to the R/L stereo RCA jack inputs on the receiver. It would be possible to eliminate the receiver if you owned a pair of powered speakers with RCA inputs.
Q: Does this turntable come with a USB connection ?
A: No, it fetures RCA pre-amp outputs only., no USB port.
A: Yes, the AT-LP60 Turntable may be connected directly to powered type speakers thanks to a built-in phono preamplifier. To turn the preamplifier on, place the preamp selector switch located on the rear of the turntable in the LINE position. The built-in phono preamplifier raises the signal level from phono (low) to line (high) level, and it applies the RIAA equalization curve required to playback vinyl records.
Q: Can this be used wit ha boom Box that has RCA inputs?
A: yes as long as you have rca jakes that are input jacks
Q: Can I hook headphones up to it instead of a receiver and/or powered speakers?
A: Technically you could, the volume level will be at a fixed moderate level (with the built-in phono preamplifier turned on) however. There is no volume control on the turntable. You may want to consider using a Headphone Amplifier between the turntable and your headphones. Another option would be a headphone, such as our now discontinued ATH-OX7AMP model, that has a built-in headphone amplifier and a volume control.
Q: can you plug it into the phono jack if you have one
A: Yes you can. Just make certain that the turntables internal phono preamplifier is turned OFF. That is, the preamp selector switch that is located on the rear of the turntable should be placed in the PHONO position.
A: I texted my son at college and his response was - Buy an adapter. 3.5mm to red and white plug Hope this helps. He loves he turntable. Has a great sound
A: While it ;is usually said that the system is no better than its lowest quality part, you will get a bigger difference in sound based on speakers selected than anything else in the system. Yes you need a decent amp and sound source, but the speakers make a big difference in how things sound. While I do have some brand preference I will not pass that on not knowing if anything they make would be within your budget. I will however suggest what to do to select a speaker,. Take a CD with you of music you like and are familiar with. Listen to it on high end equipment and speakers. Try a few different ones to get the sound you think is appropriate. Then audition equipment and speakers within your price range. Get as close to the high end as you can within your budget. Musical sound is very subjective and the ideal varies considerably depending on what type of music you listen to,. Bottom line is I would suggest spending more than you want to on the speakers. They last way longer than anything else in the sound system. If you are concerned about quality of sound as opposed to just noise, it is an investment worthwhile making.
