Can I hook up a record player to a receiver that doesn’t have a phono connection?
I tried using one of the other ports but the sound comes out very soft of quiet, even if it is turned up all the way. Is there a way I can make it louder? Do I need a pre amp? Can it even work?
you can but you will need a pre-amp (pre-amplifier)
