That splitter I’m putting it through has a volume knob :)

So - I did say that I was a novice. It turns out that all I needed to do is switch the preamp on the turn table to line - and it works fine!! sorry for the false alarm

Hi - so the turntable already has a preamp in it ( https://bit.ly/3jdji4G ) from what ive seen, i should have been able to plug those straight into my powered speakers ( https://bit.ly/3murZd5 ) but for some reason im not getting a powerful volume at all. So from the turntable im...

Hi so i just bought myself a turntable with a preamp, thinking that i could plug it straight into my powered studio speakers. I now know that i need an amp and was wondering if someone could recommend something? Id like something as small as possible, whilst staying powerful enough to...

Hi - i guess i dont have the most conventional of setups :) Currently i have a couple of Tannoy studio monitors and i have an XLR>Phono cable that goes from them into an airport express so that i can stream music directly to them from various devices. Now im introducing a turntable into the...

Hi, ive just ordered a turntable ( https://bit.ly/3szEjtD ) and am wanting to connected it to a Phono splitter that i have going to a couple of monitor speakers. .. My question is.. the RCA>Phono leads that around done have any kind of ground cable on them - does this matter? Im not hugely...

Thanks - I thought they might. I’m not hugely technical so wanted to make sure. Thanks

Hi - i need to get my dad a simple little amp so he can stream from his ipad to his passive speakers.. this looks like it could do the job (im not looking for anything fancy) https://bit.ly/3kb4yTc but... would anybody be able to tell me if it would be powerful to power these speakers which...

Aha! Thanks for the info. I’ll take a look :)

Hi, I have a couple of Tannoy studio speakers that I’ve got plugged into an apple airport express so I can stream music to them. I’d now like to be able to output a turntable (with preamp) to them and am wondering if it would be possible to simply split there input? The turntables output L/R...

Thanks for the replys. I was kind of hoping to find something like that Tangent but for less money, that i could just plug the airport express into.

hi, yeah I know they no longer sell them, but you can pick them up on eBay quite cheap and they work quite well. Ive got one at mine linked to a couple of active speakers. I was hoping to do this quite cheaply, and was wondering if there was a reasonable cheap amplifier that would power his speakers

Hi my dad would like to stream music from his iphone to a pair of existing passive speakers that he has. Im thinking of using an AirPort Extreme but was wondering if there's a really basic amplifier I could get to attach the speakers to? I really don't want to use his existing amp as its a...

Hi, thanks - yeah I’m not looking to spend more than £40ish really. I was just wondering if tilting is as good as raising? Not sure there’s much point in spending £40 on something that just tilts if they’re not going to be as good thanks again

Hi ive recently purchased some Edifier R1280 speakers to run on my desktop (from my pc). Im now wondering what the best solution would be to get the best sound out of them? These are nice and minimal...
