Do I need amplifier hook-up for turntable or just plug in and play. Lost old integrated amp and want to play LP`S and CD`S null

Question

You need a pre-amp Between your turntable and receiver. Your CD player will work fine directly connecting to the receiver.

Staub · Answer

This amp accepts RCA analog inputs. It doesn't have a digital to analog converter so it doesn't take digital inputs (toslink/coax). If your turntable has a phono stage built in, then you are good to go. Just hook up via RCA cables. If your CD player has RCA outputs, the same thing. If your turntable doesn't have a built-in phono stage and your CD player doesn't have RCA out, then you'll need a preamp with phono stage and digital to analog converter. You could also buy a phono stage and a dac as separates with their own RCA analog outs.

We have a CD player hooked in and it works great. Our old one also went and this is way better than the old one .

You need a preamp. Bought a Sony phono, PSLX300USB,
 that has an integrated preamp.

I'm using a vintage NAD 5120 turntable with a Denon DL-110 MC cartridge. I have a Pro-Ject Phonebox E that I use for ripping vinyl to digital. It has the necessary RCA outputs and will connect nicely to either input 1 or 2 of the RS-202.
