my desirable configuration is: ATPL120 turntable output to preamp and from preamp to Sony TMR-RF970R headphones. Can I have enogh strong signal?

if it is an audio technica atpl120, then it already has a phono preamp, so if you hook it up to a stereo or headphones, you should be hearing it in full volume control. so I would think just hooking it up to your headphones will give you full volume. 1980s or older turntables don't have a preamp so they relied on specially revamped phono audio hookups, but yours already is preamped so you don not need any addition preamp devices.

I would doubt it, but I can't be certain.... plus the output is two RCA Jacks and you would need an adapter to connect the headphones. The impedence was designed to talk to a phono level input. I am not sure how that would sound through headphones... an email to the manufacturer would surely give a better answer. sorry, but it does work well as a phono preamp into my computer sound card HTH

I have an Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB plugged into an LG Home Theater. I have to really turn the home theater up to get nice volume. Would this preamp help me boost it? Thanks!

Most likely the signal would be strong enough however, you'd have no way to control the volume unless your headphones have an inline volume control. Also, unless your headphones have a 1/4 inch plug you'll need an adapter of some sort . Something like this: Planet Waves 1/8 Inch Female Stereo to 1/4 Inch Male Stereo Adapter or this: 2 x RCA Male, 1 x 3.5mm Stereo Female, Y-Cable 6-Inch would be useful. I am unsure how your wireless headphone system works.

If your turntable has a jack to plug your headphones into, then all's you would need is a male/male connection (I think it's 1.5mm) to tie the turntable to the amplifier input. Plug your headphones into the amplifier output and you should have a boosted signal that will improve your headphone sounds by some margin. I use it for my MP3 player so there shouldn't be any reason your turntable wouldn't work.

I cannot respond to this directly. I know it works well with an SL-B2 turntable.

Your turntable should already have an output cable and (usually) a ground wire. This preamp includes the cable needed to go to your receiver or amp, as well as a mini-Y adaptor to convert this cable to plug into a computer line input.

I agree w/dbrdoc43 - search amazon for "preamp" and read the reviews. A preamp will increase the signal from the ttable so it will be suitable for a modern receiver. Old school amps/receivers had built in preamps; newer ones don't.

You can simple test your amplifier by connecting the audio output from the turntable to your power amp and see if you can control the sound volume. I suspect that you might not get any sound from the power amp even at max output power. Then you need the pre-amp to boost the signal from the turntable before connecting it to the power amp. Hope this helps.

No. This is a microphone preamp, and a very nice one. You need a turntable preamp that will accommodate the impedance and output specs of your tuntable. Are you looking to simply play your vinyl or will you be doing mixes? Please respond and I will be happy to guide you further.

This is a class A FCC amplifier. It cannot be used as a typical preamp. The only "output" is to the headphones. It is a headphone amp after all.

If by low output you mean a low output moving coil cartridge, this will not work for you. You will need a true MC capable phono preamplifier connected to a line level (such as tape or CD) input. You can not "piggyback" preamplifiers. Make sure you truly have a low output MC cartridge as they are rare, expensive and used only by purist audiophiles who really already know these things (no offence).

CR is correct. You will need to have a preamp of some sort built in to your turntable or a separate phono stage preamp. While I have not tried myself, I seriously doubt you could hook the rca out of the turntable directly into these speakers and get any reliable sound. The phono cartridge does not have enough output to drive a traditional amplifier in most cases. I do not recall seeing anything about a phono gain on the speakers. But I bet they would sound pretty nice with something like the Aragon 47K in between them, especially if you got the A5's

Yes, it's simply a matter of have the right connectors. Note that both the input and the output of the FBQ800 are at Line level. The output of your tube preamp should be at Line level but check first.

If you plug the turntable directly into the Bose speaker amp (which takes regular 1/4" RCA jacks, I assume), the output will not be loud enough. You need to plug the turntable into a small preamp (search "turntable preamp") to boost the signal from phono-level to line-level output. You can find these preamps for $15 or $20. You use one set of RCA cables to go from the turntable to the preamp, then a second set to go from the preamp to the Bose speaker amp.

Yes preamp will make it sound better! Most receivers don't have enough preamp build inside to run the turntable

No. Don't listen to Greg. Greg is not your friend. Greg is nobody's friend. If your receiver has a phono stage, that means it has a built in preamp.

This turntable should have a pre amp built in. If it doesnt you will need it. I have the audio technica lp 120 and the pre amp on that is fine

I do not have turntable, but there is a phono input to the receiver. I would think most all turntables would connect up to that without a pre-amp being needed...

No, you don't. A turntable preamp will amplify a signal from phono level to line level, so you need either a phono input on your system (which you have) or a preamp between your turntable and a line level input.
