I am new to this hobby and could use some advice. I recently purchased a used Audio-Technica LP60 turntable and am trying to set it up with my Logitech Z333 2.1 Speakers. I thought they were powered speakers, but I plugged in the RCA from the player to the speakers and am not hearing any noise. Do I need to purchase a receiver? If so, which do you recommend for a beginner with a low budget? Thanks

I went with a different approach. I got a set of these speakers and this cable. I then ran that cable from the audio output on my monitor to the speakers and set the VM to use the monitor's audio. The speakers mix the audio with hosts audio so it's fairly seemless.

I'm guessing something like that won't work in your situation
