How much are those? They are not worth spending any money on. They are very cheap plastic computer speakers that will be a big sound quailty bottleneck for the turntable.

Ideally spend just as much on speakers as on the $99 turntable if you can to get decent sound from what the records are capable of.

4" Microlab Pro1BT $79 powered speakers with Bluetooth.

Or Pyle PDA20BT $49 mini amp with Bluetooth plus 6.5" Dayton Audio B652 AIR $65 with included speaker wire. Then you can later upgrade one part at a time.

Or what is a Craigslist or nearby zip code to search for used options for under $100?

Fluance RT82 > phono preamp > speaker amplification > speakers.

Many integrated amps and a good number of stereo and some AV receivers have a built in phono preamp. Powered speakers have a built in speaker amp. A few powered speakers such as Klipsch PM and Kanto YU have a built in phono preamp.

Fluance RT82 is $300 so another $300 to $400 for new amplification and speakers?

Or start lowest budget $59 powered speakers and $13 phono preamp and upgrade both later as soon as you can in a few months or within a year.

I highly recommend the $500 setup if you can spend that much, the RT82 plus the great deal for the good Klipsch speakers and subwoofer.

If you can't go over $400 then:

Good turntable, small basic speakers: Fluance RT82 $299 + Pyle PP444 $13 + 4" Microlab Pro1BT $59 speakers = $371 total. Then upgrade the speakers later to $300+ plus new speakers or used speakers for less similar to the Klipsch package.

However a basic starter turntable and better speakers will sound better to start with:

Starter turntables:

  • The automatic AT-LP60X $139 is easy setup beginner plug and play and has some improvements over the older discontinued AT-LP60.
  • The manual Victrola VPRO-2000 $153 adds adjustable tracking force, a removable cartridge, pitch control, Quartz lock and USB and Bluetooth output. Balance the tonearm then set the tracking force.

Plus the great deal on the 5.25" Klipsch speakers and subwoofer $200.

Total is $339 or $353:

Then later optionally upgrade the turntable to the Fluance RT82.
