“I have a Technics SL20 that I would like to hook up with Klipsch speakers. Do I need a preemp to connect these together? I have no clue about any of this. I am not even sure how to go about connecting them. To say that I am not tech savvy would be an understatement. I would like to get the best sound possible for my vinyls. Thank you so much!!!!”

You need an amplifier or receiver that has a vinyl input, or else a preamp and an amp.. Vinyl players put out an extremely small signal, Same as a microphone. Amplifiers and receivers accept a "line level" signal that phonographs don't produce. So if there isn't a specific 'vinyl' or 'phono' input on you amp or receiver, you will need that preamp to boost the very low phonograph signal to an acceptable line level, which can then be amplified for the speakers.. Got it?!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I bought a receiver with phono, these will make your vinyls come alive. You will need the speakers, a receiver with at least 85w per channel and the turntable.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Assuming that the Technics SL20 is a turntable, you will need an amplifier for connecting the turntable and the Klipsch speakers together before you can listen to your vinyls. If you buy an amplifier, it will have instructions that will tell you how to connect the components together.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you do not have an amp,the turntable must have a pre amp in it,in order the turntable to work.I have an Audio Technica AT-LP 120 direct drive plugged into a Dennon surround receiver AVR-S510BT and it works great.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The speakers themselves are great, but they are not self-powered. If you have a turntable, you cannot just attach this to the turntable. The turntable must be plugged into some sort of receiver/amplifier, and then connected using tradition speaker wire cables. It's actually quite easy, but you need someone to help you select an inexpensive but decent way to power the speakers.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You would need a preamp and an amp (or an integrated amplifier), as these are not powered speakers. You could get away with finding a receiver with a phono input too if you're looking to save money rather than get top quality sound.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.you need an amplifer that has phono inputs (phonograph ie record player) or small phono preamp box. The amplifier/receiver will have the connections for the speakers You may be able to go cheep and get a preamp box and powered speakers, but if you like listen to music, watch Blue Rays and TV you may want to go with a surround system. Make sure you have a Moving Magnet type cartridge on you record player and a new needle. Here is a link I found to help http://coloredvinylrecords.com/blog/best-budget-phono-preamps/
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Ask at home depot to striping the wire, you need where to put the speaker's (how many from stereo to each speaker)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Unless your turntable has a power amp, you will need to run your turntable thru some type of amp be it a receiver or not. Your speakers would connect to the L/R output of your amp.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Red is positive + black is negitive - both wires should be same length..
