Amplifiers & Speakers
Your turntable and records are only as good as what they're plugged into. The amplifier and speakers are where the signal becomes sound, and getting this end of the chain right is what separates "playing records" from actually hearing them. Whether you need a phono preamp to get your turntable connected, an integrated amp to power the system, or speakers that finally do your collection justice, this is the gear that completes the setup. We'll help you build a system that fits your room and your records.
What You'll Find Here
Hi-fi amplification and speakers for vinyl playback — integrated amplifiers, phono preamps (the must-have link between many turntables and your system), and quality speakers. New, with system-building guidance available. The final piece of a great vinyl setup, matched to your space and budget. Not sure what you need? Ask — we build these all the time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a phono preamp?
If your turntable and amplifier don't already have one built in, yes — a phono preamp boosts and corrects the turntable's signal so your system can play it properly. We'll help you figure out whether you've already got one.
What's the difference between an integrated amp and a receiver?
An integrated amp combines preamp and power amp in one box for driving speakers; a receiver adds a radio tuner and often more inputs. For a focused vinyl system, an integrated amp is a clean, common choice.
