A:AnswerYes. You'll need a receiver. This will not power speakers. I suppose, if you have powered speakers, it might work. Why risk it ? Check out the jensen one with speakers or the victrola turntable with built in speakers.
A:AnswerI have this turntable connected directly into my Sonos Play 5 and it works great! I can then group it together with the rest of my Sonos speakers on the Sonos app so that I can listen to records throughout the rest of the house.
A:AnswerYes, it will work with a standard phono plug setup on your receiver. In fact it’s a little easier since you don’t have to mess with a ground wire. The only thing you have to look out for is a switch on the back of the turntable that says phono/line. Patching it through a receiver, you’ll need to make sure the switch is on phono.
