A:AnswerYou could, by plugging a set of wired headphones into the 3.5 mm stereo Analog Out jack on the back of the turntable, but the volume would be at a fixed level and only moderately loud as there is no power amplifier inside the turntable (only a phono preamplifier) and there is no volume level adjustment on the turntable. It would be better to install a headphone amplifier between the turntable and the wired headphones or go with the Bluetooth version of the turntable, the AT-LP60XBT- and use a set of wireless (Bluetooth) headphones instead.
A:AnswerThis is not enough information; we need to know the exact model Shockwafe that you have. It will need to have a Line Level analog audio input on it of some sort, it does not have to be a PHONO input, an AUX In or Line In input will work.
A:AnswerThis cartridge is somewhere in the middle, not too heavy, not too light. It catches the records really well, whereas my previous Crossley player had way too heavy of a cartridge which would cause it to jump and potentially scratch records. I would say this cartridge is a good starter, and can be replaced for future modifications.
A:AnswerCheck the belt routing. The belt comes preinstalled around the drive rim on the flipside of the aluminum record platter, but you have to finish installing it by placing it around the motor pulley after placing the platter on the spindle. Make certain that you are placing the belt around the brass-colored motor pulley after installing the platter. To check this, simply remove the black felt record mat from the turntable and rotate the aluminum record platter by hand until one of the large rectangular shaped openings in the platter is located in the upper left corner of the turntable (at about the 10 o’clock position). Look into the opening and locate the brass-colored motor pulley. Is the belt around this pulley and is the belt taught? The belt does not go around the white post located on the right side of the turntable (at about the 2 o’clock position).
A:AnswerWhen you get a turntable, you should also get a pair of active speakers (I recommend edifier if you don’t have a pair of speakers already)
Otherwise, you will not be able to properly listen to your record. Yes you may still hear the record faintly just from the needle, however there are no volume settings on the turntable themselves, unless you get an all in one turntable & speaker. All in all, if you want the best sound quality and the most traditional set up, you can’t go wrong with a pair of active speakers connected to the turntable via the included Left and Right output cables. Hope that answers your question.
