Hi Forum
I've just bought myself an entry level turntable to start building a record collection of my very own. I have a Planar 1 (entry I know) playing through some active monitors I still have from my uni days. The output from the Planar is low meaning the volume / gain is cranked up very high on the active monitors to get much volume. Sound is generally OK but I'd like to achieve a few things with an additional purchase:
1) Boost the output of the Planar 1
2) Introduce some EQ tools
3) Add a Bluetooth channel (connecting my phone for example)
4) Add a remote control volume / channel selection function
I've read a bit that seems to heavily caution against using an Amp with active monitors (presumably to do with blowing the speakers). Equally Amps tend to have outputs that work for passive speakers and I regularly see "pre amp line out" phono which is what I assume I would use. Therefore, would a pre amp be more appropriate?
Hopefully I've been clear as I don't really know what I'm talking about, any guidance welcome!
Thanks
