I'm a bit new to vinyls! Sorry!

Friend gave me a turntable they weren't using before they left to go overseas.
It is a Welling F - 700 (has preamplifiers). Now I wanted to connect it to my Logitech x - 530 speakers.

Wonder if it is possible? And if so what do I need in between the two to produce sound.

The turntable does have an RIAA preamp. So it will connect to a line level input.

Your speakers are computer speakers. What are they connected to now?

If you computer has a line level input you are set, if not it gets complicated.

I'm thinking this is going to get complicated then. Don't think my laptop has a line level input. Everything is connected, yet no sound? All very confusing.

What did you connect the line out of your turntable to, and what did you connect the line out of your laptop to?

having a hard time getting any info on this TT. if by "preamplifier" you mean that it has a built in phono preamp, then you will not need to get one. if not, than you will have to get a stand alone phono preamp OR you will need a reciever with one built in (it will be labeled "phono" input). NEVER plug a line level device (like a CD player) into a phono input. the output of a turntable is many times lower than a line level device, so if you were to plug a turntable into a reciever without amplifying the signal you will barely be able to hear it, even with the volume cranked up. once you have a way of amplifying the TT then it is just like any other audio device (like a cd player) and you would need the same setup (i.e. you can't just plug a cd player into a non-powered speaker and get music). a good online source for all things TT is needledoctor.com.

edit: hah, by the time i typed all that there were a million other responses, oh well!
