GOgroove Ultra Compact Phono Turntable Preamp (Preamplifier) with 12 Volt AC Adapter - Works With Audio Technica, Crosley, Denon, Jensen, Pioneer, Sony, Victrola, 1byone and More Turnatables

A phono preamp boosts your turntable's phono audio level up to a more speaker/stereo receiver-friendly line level, giving you better volume and increased sound quality. If you're planning on hooking up your turntable to a computer, stereo receiver, bookshelf speakers, or any other modern audio equipment, you're going to want this preamp to get the high sound quality that you expect from vinyl.

Most likely, you do. The majority of newer stereo receivers and speakers lack a phono input, which would directly connect them to the turntable. You'll need the preamp to connect to the phono output of the turntable and the line input of the receiver/speakers. And even newer turntables that may feature a built-in preamp probably aren't going to give you the highest quality sound that could be achieved from an external preamp.

You don't need to be a sound engineer or techie to understand this preamp's setup process. It takes only a minute to power up the preamp with it's included 12 Volt DC Adapter. After that, it's just a matter of using RCA cables (NOT INCLUDED) to hook the preamp to both your turntable and your stereo receiver, speakers, or other audio device.
