kylekrische Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Currently using the U-Turn Audio turntable. I just picked up a pair of these Rokit 8 G3 powered speakers: http://www.krksys.com/krk-studio-monitor-speakers/rokit/rokit-8.html My question is what do/should I run in-between? I used to use some passive speakers and ran the turntable into an old receiver that had a phono input so that handled the amplification. Any help/suggestions/ideas is much appreciated. From my fairly basic understanding, with the speakers now being powered does that make the receiver useless/potentially dangerous in my chain (too much amplification??) Im willing to drop money on upgrading so price isn't too much of an issue here. thanks team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylekrische Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 I was looking at this Music Hall Audio or the Cambridge Audio 651P preamp. My only question is how is volume control working now? Am I just going to be using the volume controls on the back of the speakers? Sorry for the n00b questions, that's the only thing I was lost on.

necroking Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Yes you would just use volume control on speakers. I have the Cambridge audio azur 551p. I like it it souns good for its price point. The 651p is a step up from that, I haven't heard it personally but ive only heard good things about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papercup Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 If you want something external to control the volume of your speakers instead of controlling each one from behind like mine, i recommend the Schiit Sys. http://schiit.com/products/sys its extremely well made *USA* and does the job.
