In days gone by, amplifiers had a dedicated record player input which amplified the signal internally - most amplifiers these days do not have this so you need an external one. Prices vary from a few tens of pounds to thousands. A few tens will do! </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/233055.aspxFri, 16 Oct 2009 16:57:29 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:233055indiasydney0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/233055.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=29&PostID=233055<p>Does anyone else have any other advice at all with regards to the possible pre-amp issue.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/232771.aspxThu, 15 Oct 2009 01:56:08 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:232771indiasydney0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/232771.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=29&PostID=232771<p>Brilliant, thanks Andy.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/232722.aspxWed, 14 Oct 2009 16:42:33 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:232722Jandyt0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/232722.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=29&PostID=232722<p>Welcome to Beoworld.<br />What a lovely thing to receive! <br />I know that the Amp that went with the Beogram 3300 has a built in pre amp, so presume that the deck didn&#39;t.<br />If I&#39;m wrong, someone will soon come round and correct me.<br />LifeStyle AV sell preamps for around &pound;75 as do Sounds Heavenly.

Is this something to do with the earthing or do I need to buy a pre-amp? If I need to buy a pre-amp, what do I need to look out for or has anyone had any experience at all? <img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/18.gif" alt="Huh?" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
