This is my first post.

I need some advice before buying a CD turnable.
I have a question about pre-amps.

I have a MPC1000 and a pair of headphones.
I want to buy a CD turntable, the Technics SLDZ 1200, to use for samples.

Do I need a pre-amp to connect and properly sample sounds from the CD turntable Technics SLDZ 1200 to the MPC1000?

Or is that only for vinyl turntables?

Thanks in advance.

You should just be able to connect the line outs to the MPC. I have no idea why a CD turntable would use Phono voltage.


Thats the way my HDX works anyways.

1. no amp needed for cd turntable.

2. don't buy a technics cd turntable, they are fukin shyt.

3. buy a pioneer cdj800 or cdj1000, thats what i use, much more features and better build quality. shure techincs make excellent turntables, but their make of a cd deck is atrocious and it flopped horribly. any reliable dj retailer would tell you that also, another option is a stanton cd deck, i used to have a pair and they wer awsome.

Cool I'll look into the pioneers and the stantons.

Thanks.
