You're right about that, and the style of the videos works. But maybe long time followers also would like the channel to contain videos that takes things beyond entry level. Most of the videos are only interesting for absolute beginners, and I guess the rest mainly hangs on for the occasional tips about vinyl releases.

That's exactly what I was thinking

A receiver includes an integrated amplifier which is a combination of a preamplifier and a power amplifier. I think the additional preamp you are referring to is the magnetic cartridge preamp for the turntable. A receiver is called so because it is an integrated amplifier combined with a tuner. There are also stand alone integrated amplifiers that do not include tuners. They are not receivers yet you can still connect all the other devices including a stand alone tuner.

there are some recievers with builtin phono preamp circuitry as well as some that do not have it mainly mid 2000s stuff.

what you have to keep in mind is that many systems have the preamp already built in, if you then connect an additional one, the signal can become too strong, so there can be destortions and the system can be damaged

I have a 1979 Pioneer SX-980 receiver. I bought it shortly before the pandemic hit and it's a beast!

Good video, but an amplifier has most of what you attribute to receivers. It is a receiver because it has a radio tuner section that can receive over the air radio signals. You used to be able to buy separate amplifiers and tuners, and the tuner went through the amplifier like any other component. It made sense to integrate both of these devices into a single receiver unit.

My dad had a Harman/Kardon 330B tucked under the guest bed for at least 20 years. He and I dug it out a few months ago, gave it a good dusting and plugged it into our setup (RT-85 + pair of 2-way Fluance Sigs). Buttery goodness. 👌

It's probably worth mentioning that it's not actually what is normally called a pre-amp that's used for turntables, it's specifically a phono stage pre-amp. That then connect into either a receiver line level input, or an integrated amplifier, (both of these types contain a normsl pre-amp and an amplifier) or if you have an amplifier that doesn't contain a built in normal pre-amp, you would connect your phono stage pre-amp to the normal pre-amp, which then connects to the main amplifier. As you mentioned though, some receivers and integrated amplifiers also contain a dedicated phono stage pre-amp built in, in which case you would forgo connecting your turntable to a separate phono stage pre-amp and just connect it directly to the decicated phono connection on your receiver or integrated amplifier. To confuse matters further, there are different types of turntable styli and cartridges. Moving magnet, (MM) and moving coil, (MC). Most phono stage pre-amps, including those built into receivers and integrated amplifiers, have the ability to properly boost the signal from MM type cartridges, but many can't sufficiently boost the signal from most MC type cartridges. That's because most MC cartridges give a weaker signal to begin with and need additional signal boosting. If you intend to use an MC type cartridge, do additionsl research before buying a phono stage pre-amp, to make sure that it has the ability to boost MC cartridges. To confuse matter even more, there are different types of MC cartridge too, which produce different signal levels and can often require different boost settings on the phono stage pre-amp. Obviously if you're just starting out, there's a lot to consider, but don't let that put you off. Just do a bit of research and ask lots of questions. If you are just stsrting out though, I'd recommend starting with MM type cartridges, because they are far cheaper to buy, the phono stsge pre-amps tend to be cheaper and you'll likely find them easier overall to get set up. Enjoy.

I have a 1984 JVC R-X500 Computer Controlled Stereo Receiver. It comes with a 7-band EQ and spectrum analyzer, built-in digital FM/AM tuner, phono stage, tape-1 and tape-2 connections and a DAD (Digital Audio Disc) input. I love it! ❤

Very clear and great information. Thanks

I had always used vintage receivers (The Fisher 125, Hitachi SR-604, etc) but got tired of the aging potentiometers and switches constantly needing attention so last fall I picked up an Onkyo TX-8220 to use with my TT (Pioneer DJ 500PXL), dual cassette deck and cd changer (also both Pioneer) and I've been pretty impressed by it. The "A" speakers are a pair of Fluance SX6W's and I ran wires from the "B" connectors to the high gain audio inputs of a powered 10" Polk Audio subwoofer and it absolutely rocks. The Onkyo accepts banana plugs for all of its speaker terminals which was another plus for me and is how I have it wired. I have many tube radios I've restored to operation for that warm tube sound and someday I'll get a tube amp for my component system but until then I'm very satisfied with my current setup.

For Years I Was Using A Receiver Output & I Thought That Good But Couple Of Years Ago I Bought Preamp And The Sound Went Up High And All My Records Sound Good And Then Add Equalizer And Sound Went Very High. Now All My Records Sounds Great 😊😊 & Great Video Man

Just found your channel, and at 39, and starting the venture into vinyl….just picked up the at60 xbt!

Basically, a 'Receiver' is so called, because it is essentially a radio set, completely contained in the one unit (except the passive loudspeakers). But it is a radio set with the facility to connect other audio sources. Rather like the very old tube radios that had a 'gram' input, back in the day.

I thought so, too. Except it is the multi-input switchability that makes it a receiver, than actually having to have a Built in tuner. In the 1980's when stack units were the rage.

I have a record player with built-in amp and active speakers but I really want to change the way it works, what would I have to do if I wanted a receiver?

I've owned a lot of vinyl and I recently got a record player as a gift from my fiancé. I appreciate the information. I think I'll probably just get a pair of active speakers and call it a day

My way of looking at it: 1. Receiver - For VHS / DVD + Music 2. Amplifyer: Music 3. Pre Amp: Support to Amp or Reciever with more power. This way of looking at it works from the 80's and up. In the 70's it was a amp that could recieve radio. That radio bonus there 80s - 90's brothers also can do, but the destinction between a amp and a reciver were more of: home theater (Reciever) vs home hifi (Amp) settup. If you have no respect for money, or you just have a abundence of it you can go for Pre Amp HiFi setups. Well, this is hoe i categorize HiFi gear. And if you have a late 1980's or early 1990's Reciever and connect a HiFi (4 head or more) VHS player with it's dedicated audio out, magic will happen 💛

I have a Yamaha Natural Sound Receiver R-S202 and I have this for three years. It's great 👍

Kids, get yourselves a 1970s stereo receiver, one with the metal knobs and AM/FM radio. The major brands are built like tanks, look awesome and sound amazing. If you can find a Marantz anywhere cheap, grab it immediately. You might have to send it to a repair shop for a "recap," but that's just routine maintenance.

But they were hifi like yours, no mod cons. Bluetooth was just a viking from history usb was a typing error. I have 3 receivers all multi channel. as such, I am about to dust down my mid 1970s Toshiba Sa504 quadraphonic receiver and play the couple of quadraphonic lps i have . The Onkyo TXSR608 was bought cheapo as a HDMI switching box really to replace the flagging Marantz SR5300, which was bought because it had loads and loads and loads of audio inputs and replaced my beloved Marantz Model 1090.

An integrated amplifier is a pre-amp and a power amp in the one unit. A receiver is an integrated amplifier with a built in radio. Is there a difference? Yes. We have a Yamaha A-S701.

But we have a record player, CD player, cassette recorder, CD recorder and minidisc recorder. (Song of the day is "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty)

Hi Jarrett. The problem with receivers is the source component signal degrades more than separates do.That is why i have a separate tube phono stage and a tube preamplifier and a separate power amplifier.

I live in nyc and I found a whole audio set up on the street with the marantz receiver u used in the thumbnail!

Tubes introduce a form of distortion that many find appealing. Sometimes identified as warmth to the ear. Really just a different sound sent to the speakers. When early CDs sounded very harsh in the upper frequencies I would attach the player to a tube amp and it improved the sound to my ears. With modern players and digital media I find I don't need to do that any more.

If you want to listen to only the turntable via headphones, meaning you don't need source switching or want to connect speakers, you don't need a receiver, you can simply get a headphone amp.

Hey could you please talk about how to date your records

I have an odd setup. I have no room for speakers, I wanted a turntable changer, and wireless. Plus, my record stand is an old, repurposed sidewalk newspaper vending machine. :) Thankfully there are holes in the metal on the back of the machine. So, I have a 1980s Technics SL-B500 on top with wires going inside to a Rolls VP29 preamp that's mounted via industrial Velcro. Then I have that outputting back out of the newspaper machine/stand to a Bluetooth transmitter that's Velcro'd to the back of the machine. All power cords run to a power strip. To keep things clean, the cables run through a cable track attached to the back of the newspaper machine, and the power strip is in a power strip box. So, I open the power strip box and flip it on, and then my record play can output to my TV's soundbar via Bluetooth. I know, I know, a soundbar!? Bluetooth with vinyl? I'm no audiophile but am really nostalgic for the physical medium and tactile nature of the whole process of playing records. The music sounds just fine to me. I will say, in a new apartment (If I'm ever that lucky), I want to have a side table on each side and switch to some active bookshelf speakers. *fingers crossed*

However, I have 4 things in my system (Sony PS-J20 turntable, Yamaha KX-260 cassette deck, Raspberry Pi 3B internet radio, and Packard Bell iMedia S2870 desktop, which will be replaced with a laptop (preferably from Framework, I’ve heard they can have their CPU, RAM, SSD and ports replaced and upgraded just like with most turntables). So I ended up needing one more thing to complete it: a ‘switchbox’. Basically a box that allows one to plug up to 4 things in it and switch between them without changing cables. To record to cassettes, I bought a cable that has a male and female side on one end, so I can plug in the cassette deck permanently. So basically, if your amp/receiver has/your powered speakers have too little inputs, a simple & cheap switchbox can add the additional inputs. As on if there are other ‘combo’ devices, yes there are! Ignoring the * suitcase style record players, there’s the ‘cassiever’, a combo between a reciever and a cassette deck. Another thing I mentioned are active/powered speakers, which basically are speakers that contain a small amp to power themselves.
