SkyeLee Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Hey, y'all. I hope this message finds you all doing well during these unprecedented times. I am doing well and have decided to attempt to start record collecting. Here's to hoping I have what it takes. Off to a rough start so far. I purchased a turntable off of Amazon and didn't even realize, like a total nincompoop, that it came without built in speakers. So, I'm here hoping that I could post the link to the turntable I purchased and then a link to a possible speaker purchase that I intend to make and see if someone would be kind enough to tell me if they'll be compatible and what additional equipment I might need, please. So, here's the turntable I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07N3XJ66N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Here are the speakers I'm currently considering: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016P9HJIA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A23AS8PFN4IRUQ&psc=1 Would they be compatible and, if so, would I need any additional equipment like a double RCA cable or something similar? Thank you all in advance for the help. I appreciate you endlessly. -Skye Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyeLee Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 You are such a gem! Thank you so much. All apologies for any lingering confusion on my part, but just to clarify: that set of speakers would be compatible AND I would seemingly need to purchase a separate double RCA cord? Would I for someone reason need to purchase a separate amp? Sorry if that sounds ridiculous, as well, but I read a review for the turntable (after having purchased it) that made me think that I might.

SkyeLee Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Thank you kindly for breaking that down for me. I truly appreciate you. I think I understand, but it's good to know that I could potentially holler back with further questions. Again, thank you for being so responsive and helpful. Means a lot. Take care. ❤️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
