Okay so, I know this looks long and daunting, i know there are previous threads about connecting this turntable to hifi but they don't quite answer my questions. I would really, really appreciate some advice on this. I'm drowning in technology.
So down to basics: I am looking to buy a turntable.
A friend of mine has one which I trust it's a Bush MTT1, I like the freedom of being able to place the needle wherever which has been removed from new systems and I've found a few for sale on the internet.
The only issue is I want to connect it to my sony hifi system. The Hifi has a line in which the manual says is for connecting and listening to minidisk, tv and vcr.
Major question-will I be able to connect my turntable?
I would buy it and just connect it to my speakers through phono plugs but neither the turntable or speakers have volume control, only the hifi which only has one set phono jack which the speakers are attached to.
The turntable has phono jacks coming out but no input.
So bascially I'm wondering if the following are possible and which to do:
1) Buy piece of equipment which has phono and aux jacks. Buy double ended aux cable.
Here's a word diagram for you...
phonoplug----(cable)----phono plug into jack on--'equipment'--aux plug coming out of aux jack----(cable)----aux plug going into 'line in jack' on hifi
2) Does such a thing exist as phono plugs (to go into back of my hifi) connected to a base which has multiple phono jacks? (into which I can connect both the speakers and turntable)
If either of the two are possible which isthe best and most economic to go for? Could you possibly recommend me some equipment?
OR should I just buy a turntable with volume control and plug in my speakers. (if so whats the best one to buy for under £80, don't care about quality of inbuilt speakers, mine do me just fine
)
Thanks i really appreciate any advice
