from Saxman from Sebring, FL, www.circuitcity.com
one feature it could use is a level control for the preamp.
from JCPaul from Boston, MA, www.circuitcity.com
i will probably just buy a phono preamp and hook my original turntable up to the home entertainment receiver, i was hoping to avoid having the extra clutter on the shelf, but the pl50 does not
from Elokire from Columbia SC, www.circuitcity.com
may be disappointed if you hook it up through a reciever without turning off the built-in preamp.
from Squid from Virginia Beach, www.circuitcity.com
it has a built-in preamp, so with an adaptor cord from a popular electronics store, i was able to plug right into the computer's line-in jacks.
from Glenn Taylor from Louisville KY, clickfrom.buy.com
the turntable comes with a cartridge and a built in preamp - which is sweet, because most new amps don't require that you buy a separate preamp for your turntable.

Audio-Technica AT-LP2D

$140.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.crutchfield.com
don't forget it has preamp, so you don't need a special connection in your receiver, aux plugins work fine.overall - its the best you can buy for what you paid, and don't believe what you read in
from www.amazon.com
think of it as purchasing conversion software and getting a free turntable (with a preamp) and disc washing brush and solution.
from www.amazon.com
i found the turntable to work very well, i would like to see the preamp switch located on the front panel for easier access.
from www.amazon.com
this turntable/preamplifier works as advertized, as expected, and as indicated by a pc magazine review.
from www.amazon.com
the instructions should be amended to suggest use of a preamp or amplifier between the at-lp2d and a pc.

Pioneer PL-990

$114.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
one thing to be aware of is that it has a built-in preamp, so you can't connect it to the phono inputs on your tuner/amp.
from www.amazon.com
no disappointment, except for the inability to bypass the preamp.

Denon DP-300F

$295.00 Est. at Amazon

from Billy D from, www.circuitcity.com
i bought this turntable because it has a built-in preamp, which is essential for ripping audio files.
from Van from Woburn, MA, www.circuitcity.com
no phono preamp input is required on the receiver as the turntable includes the needed preamp to boost the signal to line level.
from www.amazon.com
i did not try the built in preamp, so i cannot comment on that; my denon receiver aready has a built-in phono preamp.
from www.amazon.com
the internal phono preamp means it can be connected to any available line input on a receiver.
from www.amazon.com
i then hooked the turntable up to my backup 20-year old onkyo receiver in my office with a built in phono preamp, and i noticed an improvement in sound quality.

Technics SL-BD20D

$124.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it should be noted, however, that the unit does not include a preamp.
from www.amazon.com
if you're listening on a mini-system or some other piece of junk, don't bother with this table since it requires a dedicated phono input or separate phono preamp.
from www.amazon.com
just make sure that the grounding wire is solidly attached to both the turntable and your phono preamp (or integrated receiver.)
from www.amazon.com
finally we were told we needed a phono preamp because the turn table did not have one built in.
from www.amazon.com
a so called phono-preamp will boost the player's signal for use in the "aux" input of your receiver.

from www.amazon.com
it has abuiltin preamp which can be turned on or off, which is an advantage over my old turntable which did not have a preamp.
from www.amazon.com
it includes a preamplifier that i thought could drive the line input on my sound card.
from www.amazon.com
the built-in preamp is great for this since i was able to hook it up directly to my computer without needing a separate stereo system.
from www.amazon.com
since it includes its own built-in preamp, this unit is easy to use in conjunction with a home computer.
from www.amazon.com
out of the box all you have to do really is attach the drive belt and attach the platter, and depending if you have a phono input on you're receiver, you have to click the built in preamp switch on

the built-in preamp in this turntable allowed me to play lp's directly into the sound card (using polderbits recording and editing software), then burn to cd.
from www.abt.com
item comes set with the preamp on...need to turn it off if you have an amp!!!
from Phil from Beaufort NC, www.circuitcity.com
the no preamp/preamp switch is somewhat hidden beneath the turntable.

luckily, this unit has it's own preamp and allows me to hook it up at line level to the computer's sound card input.
from www.amazon.com
this unit does have a switch which allows you to turn on or off the preamp, which is handy if you decide to use it as a part of your home entertainment system instead of putting it on ebay.
from www.amazon.com
the unit has all of the features of a quality device (simple, solid tracking, good sound, easy installation, phono outputs and built-in preamp) but none of the actual metal parts to give it a solid
