A:AnswerYou can keep it simple and connect the turntable to a pair of POWERED type speakers. Powered speakers have amplifiers built into them, you do not need a separate stereo amplifier or receiver between the turntable and the speakers when the speakers are self-powered. The turntable has a built-in phono preamplifier which, when turned on, applies the RIAA equalization curve required to playback records and amplifies the signal to line level. Make certain to turn the phono preamplifier on by placing the preamp selector switch located on the rear of the turntable in the LINE position.
A:AnswerMake sure the preamp is turned on. It's a switch in the back. If you are still having problems, make sure you calibrated the stylus correctly. There is an instructional video on the Audio Technical website if you need help.
A:AnswerBest Buy's specifications are sorely lacking. As per the actual technical specifications on Audio-Technica's site, it supports 115/230V AC, 60/50 Hz.
A:AnswerYes. There's a switch on the back for phono. You're fine as long as you have RCA inputs. Plugging into that unit, you're stuff is going to sound great!
