Do I need to use a preamp with this?

No output is good into amp or mixer. Pre-amp would allow additional flexibility with eq and gain adjustments.

No you don't and it sounds great on my old d28 Martin..I highly recommend this pickup.

I bought this soundhole pickup to avoid using batteries for the active version, but I was dissappointed by the sound it produced from my Ibanez Acoustic. If you want to avoid using a preamp, use the active version of the fishman soundhole pickup.

You'll definitely need an RIAA-type of preamp (Amazon has a few economical models). The signal coming out of a turntable needs to be EQ'd and boosted to work properly. No real way around it. :-)

Yes. Your preamp needs a switchable input, though. Or a preamp specifically designed for MC.

This device needs no pre-amp. You can hook it into any standard 2-channel input.

Sure you can. This preamp surpassed my expectations. Gives you a very good control of you different audio sources and very good audio quality.

Yes, you need a preamp to drive the aux channel on your amp. This one work great.

according to this page, you need a phono preamp http://www.crutchfield.com/S-eSSr5pG4cZG/p_022RXV377/Yamaha-RX-V377.html

This would not be enough. If you want reasonable quality, you need an audio interface that would allow you to plug in (XLR or 1/4") and that had an onboard pre-amp. Look for Focusrite, Presonus, or M-Audio if you aren't trying to spend much money.

yes,but without preamp it wont get very loud,although it may be loud enough for you.

You'll need a phono preamp, pro-ject makes several. The phono box MM works just fine.

Yes preamp will make it sound better! Most receivers don't have enough preamp build inside to run the turntable

Yes, if you have RCA or a stereo-mini output from your multi-input device. This pre-amp will only use one input and is analog-stereo only. The quality of this pre-amp was very good.

There are many factor that would determine if you needed a pre amp or not. If you didn't have a long run of cable and on a sunny day no but if you are providing signal to the whole house and have long runs of cable and if you watch tv in rainy days then yes you need a pre amp you can google it and find out more. I hope this helps good luck

No, you don't. A turntable preamp will amplify a signal from phono level to line level, so you need either a phono input on your system (which you have) or a preamp between your turntable and a line level input.

There is a switch in the back for phono or auxiliary. If you use the auxiliary you will not need a preamp. I use this option and it works very well.

There is a preamp, but a phono preamp that amplifies phono output to line level. You still need a stereo amplifier to make proper sounding

Yes, just get a pre-amp with a digital connector, pretty simply for any aux connections.
