I have a CS-1257 Dual turntable and I want to buy speakers without the bother of a preamp. Are there speakers that work with older systems and where can I find them?
You don't have an older system... you have a turntable... a source component.
It will require a phono preamp, amplification and speakers. You could go with a receiver that has "phono" inputs (which means it has a built-in phono preamp) and some hi-fi speakers. Or, you could go with a separate phono preamp and some powered monitors or computer speakers.
Hope you put together something you enjoy. Keep 'em spinnin'!
Or, you could buy a phono preamp and use your powered computer speakers if you have a nice set. These are some nice sounding phono preamps on a budget. The real cheap stuff usually sounds terrible and has a lot of hum in the background. You could spend less, but I wouldn't recommend it...
