Turntables

Independent turntable guides covering setup, cartridges, phono stages, compatibility, maintenance, upgrade costs and common faults.

Turntables

Choose a built-in or external phono stage by cartridge compatibility, gain, noise, connections and upgrade needs—not by price or box count.

Audio Explained

Connect a turntable without weak sound, distortion or hum by matching PHONO/LINE level, grounding and MM/MC cartridge compatibility.
