Do you need a phono preamp?
A phono preamp boosts the very quiet signal from the cartridge.
We could not confirm whether the TT-15S1 has a phono preamp built in. Check the back of your record player: if it has a PHONO/LINE switch, it has one.
Speakers that work with the TT-15S1
Each of these has its own phono input, so the TT-15S1 plugs in without a separate phono preamp.
If your record player has a PHONO/LINE switch, any powered speaker with a line input works.
The Nines
Also has an optical input, for a TV.
C20 W
Has a subwoofer output, if you want more bass later.
MR1 Mk3
Bass drivers 85 mm across.
