I moved my turntable from one end of the basement to the other a few days ago.
Hooked it up to a never amplifier that had no turntable inputs.
Tried the DVD input, the tape input...maybe others....
The signal was too weak....I had to crank the volume to 50 (usually set it to 15 or so for regular volume).
I guess the output of turntables is way lower than other components...does anyone know?

Since most current electronic components have high output signals, you are probably used to plugging them in and immediately being able to use them. Your turntable, however, is different, as it is far lower in output than anything else in your sound system.
The output signal is derived from the phono cartridge on the end of your turntable’s tonearm and is amplified to a level that your receiver or amp can use by the phono stage.
In order to determine whether your system has a phono stage, look for a left and right input labeled “phono” on the back of your receiver or amp, as well as a small ground screw near these two plugs. If you see these things you should be ready to get started with your new turntable.
The phono preamp (or phono stage) takes the very low signal from your cartridge and amplifies it so that your receiver or amplifier can accept the signal.

Thanks.
I will take a look.
My other option is to hook up my old Harmon-Kardon receiver (that certainly has a phono input because it is what I have been using for decades) and use it with the speakers that I have always used with it.
Update: I just took a look at the manual and no luck, so I will be connecting it to the other receiver.

Any receiver I have seen had a phono input but I haven't seen any newer receivers. This turntable has an amplified phono output and can be hooked up either way (there's a switch on the back). It also has bluetooth, so I can connect it wirelessly to the bluetooth speaker I bought with it.
