A:AnswerBecause it has a preamp, the AT LP60X has both phono and line output jacks. I believe that you would use the line output to connect to the Bose system.
A:AnswerYes, it should. It has a 1/8” stereo jack as an output. Just get a cable that splits out to Right and Left Phono jacks and it should play fine on your older system, provided it has Phono jack inputs.
A:AnswerYes, it will work with your older amplifier if you have an AUX RCA input. I'm a broadcast engineer. My recording ear picked up a hum that others would not hear. The hum is not normal even for an entry level unit. I upgraded to the Audio Technica LP120USB. It is available in both black & silver, I had to get silver unit shipped to me while the black unit was readily in stock in the Kansas City Metro area stores.
A:AnswerYou have to connect it to something that has speakers associated with it. For example, you can connect the turntable to a stereo receiver or amplifier that has (passive type) speakers connected to the receiver or amplifier, but you can also connect the turntable directly to a pair of powered (aka active) type speakers. Powered speakers contain the amplifier that you would normally find inside a stereo receiver or amplifier therefore a receiver or amplifier is not needed. Powered speakers will typically have an On-Off Switch and a volume control on them. At least one of the speakers (the one that contains the amplifier) will need to be plugged into an AC power outlet.
A:AnswerYes, I just hooked it up to a 1950 Grundig Tube amp and it works fine. However if you really appreciate the full sound and warmth of listening to vinyl, I would spend the extra money and step up to the Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB. I have this for my main system and the sound, even with older used records is very good. With the model you are looking at, it wont play as well with older records and they wont have the warmth you are looking for.
A:AnswerNo, it only has an analog output that can be set to phono or aux levels. The Bluetooth model, AT-LP60XBT-BK, does support Bluetooth connections. It is $149.
A:AnswerNo it will not work, this is not a POWER amplifier, it is a phono preamplifier. If you already own passive type speakers, you will need to install a stereo receiver or amplifier between the turntable and the speakers. Receivers and Amplifier have a POWER amplifier inside to amplify connected sources, such as a turntable, up to a level that can adequately drive the speakers. Another option would be to use POWERED (aka active) type speakers. Powered speakers have their own power amplifier built into them so there is no need for a separate stereo receiver or amplifier. Due to the inclusion of a phono preamplifier in the turntable, the turntable may be connected to devices that either do or do not have a dedicated PHONO input for a turntable. A phono preamplifier raises the phono level signal from a turntable (which is very weak) to a stronger line level signal (such as that which you get from a CD Player) so it can drive the preamplifier section of a receiver, amplifier or powered speaker, then the preamplifier drives the power amplifier. Its all about gain staging so that, in the end, you have a good signal to noise ratio. A phono preamplifier also applies the RIAA equalization curve which is required for the playback of records.
