A turntable system for both sampling and listening?

Hi!
I would like to buy me a turntable system for both sampling and listening but I'm a little lost.
To sample, I know I just need to do that: Turntable--->DJ mixer--->MPC
What else should I get only to listen to records with a quite good audio quality? A preamp or a phono amp or speakers or...? Also can you give me some advices of what to buy for a cheap price? Thanks!

There's a lot of ways you can do this. I'm just going to mention how I have mine set up for reference.

I have an audio tuner that I use for the pre amp for the SL-1200M3D, so I can listen through my non monitor speakers if I want.

I have an rca to 1/4 running to my asr-10 for sampling that way, but can also go directly into the mpc 4k from the turntable if I want.

So, it's up to you and what you are trying to do. I personally didnt need a mixer.

Ok, thanks a lot.
So basically, I just need to do this for listening:
Turntable--->Mixer or pre-amp--->Speakers
Is it right?

Yea bro you got it.

In that configuration you will be able to hear your records through the speakers and route from the mixer to (if you have it) whatever sampler. I'm not that familiar with mixers, but would imagine they all pretty much have out puts.

Peace

Ok, great. Thanks a lot!

People always ask about turntables but forget about the most important item... the needle.

Yes, I know that the needle is very important. I heard that the Shure M 44-7 was the best choice, so I didn't ask for it.

Excellent point JUKE 179r,

Forgot to mention it! Very true and equally important. I use the ORTOFON Concorde DJ S.

Peace

no - if you have hifi speakers or passive monitors you can't usually connect them directly to a mixer

if you have active monitors (i.e. self-powered speakers with amplification built in) then you can connect them straight to a mixer

it depends what you mean by pre-amp - if you just mean a phono pre-amp then that won't allow you to connect speakers either, you'll still need an amplifier.

rdavila's "audio tuner" presumably includes amplification, and if he connects his turntable to it, a phono pre-amp as well.

Yes, I was thinking about active moniors

While this is true of the 4000 because of its integrated RIAA phono preamplifier, the same can't be said of the other MPCs. OP will need to go through an pre-amp stage with RIAA de-emphasis.
