Is this what I need to plug an older turntable into a new receiver/amp that does not have a phono jack? When I plug in AUX, there is no sound.

Yes, you need a preamp to drive the aux channel on your amp. This one work great.
1421747
Yes,Yes,Yes, a thousand times YES!!!! Bought one of these for the hubby when we ran into the same problem and it works like a charm!!!!

I am not 100% sure of what you're asking, however . . . I use mine with an Onkyo Receiver that has a phono input. However the, the volume was so low that I could not get enough volume on the recordings (CD or mp3 via PC in my case). I could just crank the volume while listening w/o getting excess noise, but that was not the case when recording. So, my turntable is plugged into the ART DJPRE II phone, which in turn is plugged into a line-level input on the receiver, and all is well. Was the what you were asking?

Maybe you need some sort of pre amp for the turntable for it to run on your receiver, Shure used to make one but I haven't seen one in quite a while. Do you have access to any other receiver to see if it works ok...it may just be faulty. Without getting my hands on it is hard to say just what the issue is.

You only need an aux jack for this unit to work. No phono jack needed. Has its own amplifier inside unit. It does not need receivers.

Sorry for the delay. I did not know the answer either so I contacted Pioneer. They said if your were using their receiver VSX 523 and wanted to connect a turntable to it, you would need an external preamp for the turntable and then connect it to an available red/white input. This is good to know as I have an older Dual turntable that I would like to connect to it. I recently bought a new Pioneer turntable but it has a preamp built in and all I had to do was to connect it to the CD input of the Pioneer AV receiver.

You can set it up for 2 channel stereo. Unless your turntable has abuilt in phono amp it cannot be connected to this receiver.

Basically any receiver/amp will work with this unit as long as the inputs are RCA jacks and that's pretty much all of them. Here's how it breaks down. All turntables require a pre-amp before the signal goes to the main amplifier. Most modern receivers do not have a dedicated slot for turntables any longer. So most turntables include the pre-amp built in. The switch for the pre-amp is on the back of the Audio Technica. * So if your receiver has a setting for "Phonograph", "Phono" or "Turntable" you're good to go. Just switch the pre-amp Off on the back of the turntable. * If your receiver doesn't have a setting for "Phonograph", or one of the a fore mentioned, then turn the switch On. That's it. Simple. Just be aware that should you buy a receiver without a "Phonograph" input you will loose the slot for whatever peripheral should go there. In my case I use an Onkyo CR-315 Shelf Unit. I plug my Audio Tecnica into the "Dock" slot. This is to be used with a special docking device that allows you to plug in an iPod. I know longer have this device, so no harm no fowl. If however I did have this device and needed to use it, I would constantly be switching between these two devices on my receiver. So just make sure you have enough inputs to avoid this potential hassle. Really, the only thing you need to look for on a receiver is to make sure it excepts inputs through RCA jacks and again, that's pretty much the standard. As to brand, that's up to you as far as your needs and budget.

Alas, no. I also have an old turntable, and there is no appropriate connection to the receiver.

You should not need a pre-amp if you have a PHONO input on your receiver. That input is usually amped to RIAA specs and will play your signal from your magnetic cartridge. If you find that the sound output from your turntable is very low, you will need a pre-amp. If your turntable has one built-in, turn it on. Otherwise just buy a stand alone pre-amp and hook your turntable into it and then the pre-amp into your receiver.

There is no "phono" input on this receiver, so it doesn't have a preamp. You can use another RCA input (I am using "Tape"), but that will only work depending on your turntable, and if it has a built-in preamp. If your turntable has a "phono" out or phono switch/setting, it will work. I have one connected and it works fine. Otherwise, you will need to buy a little $20 preamp. If you are only looking to power your speakers for a turntable, this is probably not the receiver for you.

If your turntable has rca hook ups then yes. You will just have to hook it up through one of your aux. Receiver works great for the price. Puts out great sound through our MTX speakers. I hope I helped you out.

AFelectrngineer already answered your question, but I was also going to recommend the ART USB Phono Plus. Even though you stated that you don't need the USB capability, the USB Phono Plus would probably be your best bet if you want to be able to plug in a set of headphones without having to do some electronic modifications to the unit. And if you do decide to use the USB capability, it'll probably sound better than your turntable's built-in preamp.

Yes, because of the USB capabilities, I believe this model has a pre-amp already installed in it. Some receivers have a pre-amp installed, if there is a "phono" input. Mine does not and I use the "CD" input. I haven't tried it, but I would assume you could connect the turntable directly to speakers and it would be fine.

Did you find a solution? I'm facing the same dilemma now. Have the turntable, trying to figure out what I need to buy to go with it and am a novice at this. Besides speakers, do you need the stereo receiver or anything else?
1957120
Yes. I have a TT hooked up to mine. AUX input. Had the receiver for about 6 months now with no problems. If you have an older turntable and have to turn up the volume all the way to hear anything, then you also will need one of these PYLE-PRO PP444 Ultra Compact Phono Turntable Preamp

Should be fine with your receiver. There are usually several places on receivers to plug in accessory machines that use phono plug inputs. If you're replacing your cd player with this machine, it could plug into the same place where the old machine was plugged into, for instance. I love this machine. Great old school technology and you can randomly shuffle and have continuous music for a long time.

the rca output from the turntable is low level, and would require a "phono" input jack on your stereo, which would seldom be used for other input sources. You'd only be able to connect the turntable to your stereo system with the USB cable if the stereo system has a USB input port.
