Just a power amp, turntable and speakers?


What is the reason that you need a pre-amp? If I only want to listen to records on an older Marantz turntable, can I simply run it into a high powered power amp and out to some floor speakers? I'd be interested in hearing any and all opinions/input on this topic.

thanks!

you could get an amp with volume control, but you will still need a phono-pre. You could do an integrated, although i do not know it any integrateds have phono stages.
