Wasn't too sure where to put this thread but I thought Hardware seemed the most appropriate. Basically I'm about ready to upgrade from my £20 logitech speakers I got a few years ago. I'm pretty much only using my speakers for music and I also have turntable which I use them with by plugging them into the headphone jack. Now, my question is would it be possible to use hi-fi speakers with my turntable (it has that connection where it's the bare wires that go into the back... I don't know the technical term) and then also be able to switch to using them with my computer? And ideally be able to connect my phone, too. Or am I best just going for the best desktop speakers I can find and continue using a converter for the turntable?
What turntable do you have? It sounds like it has a built in amplifier if it has speaker connections on the back and a headphone jack.
Same question, what model is it ? Seams to have an RIAA preamp, and maybe an amp. More information, such as output impedance and wattage is important . Will try to find something fitting the budget.
You could always plug hi-fi speakers into the back of the old music centre (only connect with thin bare-wire though),then could try plugging the output from pc soundcard to the mic in (I'm assuming one of the front jacks sockets on the front of the music centre is a mic? ). There are other very convoluted things you could try, but that'd be easiest I think.
