The Classic Setup.
How it works (in a nutshell)
from turntable
The styli (needle) on your turntable picks up vibrations from the grooves in your record & turns them into a signal.
to amplifier
That signal from your record is weak & can't be heard, so the phono stage in your amp boosts it up to normal line level.
to speakers
Your speakers have no power, so they get their juice & the signal from your amp to create sweet, sweet music to your ears.
