CZIMM21 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I am in the process of building a good setup that has the best sound with what equipment I have. Right now I have a pair of KRK Rokit 5s, and a Numark PT01 USB turntable. I'm currently having problems with how my speakers sound. They have a very bad hiss and sometimes distortion when they are turned on and running with my turntable. I'm not sure if I need an amplifier? or if I should invest in different cables? Just trying to figure out how to get the cleanest, crispest sound I can. I am very new to this so any feedback is greatly appreciated!

dethrock Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Your first step to getting cleaner, crisper sound is to get a new turntable. I'm not joking. CZIMM21 and Billich0986 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
