We only pick the coolest stuff because we like it. Following is a painless breakdown of three basic turntable setups that are the most common, with an explanation for what you’ll need to make music. When vinyl started bouncing back, turntable manufacturers wisely began adding a built-in phono preamp to the turntables themselves. Then CDs came along and ruined music for everyone, leading to a gradual phasing out of phono stages. Receivers, integrated amplifiers, and separate preamplifiers - check out the glossary below for definitions of various kinds of stereo equipment - all had a phono stage because records were the dominant medium. The RIAA filter in a phono preamp flips everything back to its proper place, and eventually, it comes out of your speakers as Phoebe Bridgers.Ī phono stage is crucial, and for decades, they were everywhere. In order to fit more music onto an LP, engineers discovered that boosting the high frequencies and cutting the low would allow more grooves to be carved into an album side. The RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) equalization filter in every phono preamp actually reverses the RIAA equalization used when cutting a record. A phono preamp and a phono stage are the same thing the latter simply refers to a phono preamp that’s included with a receiver or integrated amplifier, hence it’s one stage of the overall design.Ī phono preamp is essentially an equalizer that takes the signal from the phono cartridge, equalizes it, and then amplifies it. The key factor here is a phono preamplifier, also called a phono stage.

Here we’ll lay out the components needed to listen to records and how to connect them. So, we thought it was time to offer up Discogs’ basic guide to a simple system. Back in the day, there were only a couple of options, and now there are many. The ins-and-outs of a hi-fi system may now be as familiar to you as “Who’s Next,” but they were once a mystery. “Hey, I got my dad’s old speakers and bought a turntable and I can’t figure out how to connect them?” “So, I finally bought a turntable and I have this killer home theater receiver but when I plug the turntable into the back I can barely hear anything. Several times a month, a familiar question pops up on a Discogs forum:
