setup external speaker on califone


Recommended Posts

My parents 1430K califone has a lot of problems - intermittent bass feedback, other noise, and record to record variations in quality. I've had it serviced a few times by someone who works on turntables for a living and sells a lot. I think we have hit a dead end with what can be done and I really don't want to put much more effort into it. 

I wondered about trying to connect an external speaker by a cord to the out jack. They have a bose that they want to try. Is this as simple as a cable with a jack on one end and split RCA on the other? Is the califone  jack 3.5 or 6.35mm?  

Thanks very much for any help

The Califone has a 1/4" jack that would need to go through some converters and adapters to most likely make it work with the Bose speaker you are referring to. 

 

If they enjoy listening to records at all, they should look into a new record player instead of spending more money on getting the Califone serviced as it probably has pretty terrible sound quality and is more importantly damaging their records.
