Prog Rock Ethan Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Hello all, I just upgraded my turntable to an Audio Technica LP-120 and bought Klipsch R-14M Speakers. My turntable has a built in pre amp but I soon learned that my Klipsch speakers are passive speakers and have no amplifier. I don't have much experience with turntable amplifiers. Do you guys know of any high quality yet small amplifiers I could buy? Thanks Edited May 5, 2017 by Prog Rock Ethan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing how your turntable already has a built-in phono preamp, any regular amp will do the job for you, you just plug your turntable into the AUX input. Also, please define "small amplifier"? Do you want a setup that does not take up much space? If that is the case, I would look into returning the speakers and just go with active speakers. That way you would not need an amp at all. If space is not the issue, pretty much any cheap used amp will do. You should have plenty of choice locally. Check classified ads, garage sales, goodwill, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tardcore Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 https://emotiva.com/products/amplifiers/100 If you're after anything much smaller, you're probably better off just returning your speakers and getting active monitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get a used hifi amplifier of receiver so thrift store, Craig's list, ebay, local classifieds, garage sales etc etc. but preferably somwhere you can take it back to if there's anything wrong and more importantly from someone who can show you how to hook it up I'm guessing you're in the US and this is in the Uk but something like this would be ideal. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cambridge-Audio-A1-Amplifier-/192173773136?hash=item2cbe731150:g:fUEAAOSwhvFZBi4U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
