Hi spiny norman, Thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate it. I have tried the turntable with these speakers without using the TEAC amp.It plays fine but it's either too low (even at max volume on the speakers' volume control button) or there's a loud ''fuzz'', depending on whether I...

Thanks a million for your help, really appreciate it.

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm posting the right place, but I'm trying to connect a new pair of Monster HD speakers to a TEAC 500 series system. I have a Stanton ST180 turntable which I then want to hook up to the TEAC amp. This amp allows only the old style speaker copper wire endings to go into it...

You're right, Thmpsonuxb, I had planned on buying them second-hand. Some (non-expert!) friends are now telling me to buy active speakers that eliminate the need for an amp with my new Stanton turntable. Are active speakers any good? Any suggestions apart from the really expensive Monster...

Vladimir, Thanks so much for that, I will try this combo. Your help has been very much appreciated. All the best, Dave

Hi there Vladimir, Many thanks for your reply. 1) I was thinking maybe £200 all in. 2) Floor size is roughly 12m squared. 3) I don't normally play my music too loudly - sound quality / sharpness is more important to me than the actual volume. 4) Pop / rock music is normally what I'd listen...

Hi I've just bought a Stanton ST 150 Turntable, and was wondering if I should buy a pre-amp, an amp, or a receiver, and why. Could anybody out there recommend a good model, and also a good set of speakers to go with whichever of the above three I need to buy? I've bought this for home...
