Hi everybody
I just fixed up an old sony PSQ3 turnatble and plugged it into my stereo, and found that I actually need a preamp to make it loud enough for quality listening. I don't know the rating of my stereo or what is coming out of the turntable, so I am not sure as to which size (watts) I need. The only guide I have to go is this (forgive me for sounding so amature) when I plug my ipod directly into my stereo, that's about the perfect level of loudness and power for my little stereo. So in short, what wattage of preamp would I need to boost the signal from a turntable up to the signal that comes out of an ipod headphone jack?
Thanks heaps for your time
