Vintage Integrated Amps: Setup and Connecting Audio Sources

Vintage integrated amps typically feature dedicated inputs for various audio sources such as a phonograph, tuner, tape recorder, and auxiliary input. It is worth noting that, except for the phono input, all the other inputs operate at a line level. This makes them compatible and interchangeable with one another. Notably, the phono input incorporates a preamplifier stage that applies RIAA equalization to enhance audio playback quality.

Let us look at the best ways to set up your vintage amplifier for a blend of classic charm with modern sound quality.

• Positioning: Always place the amplifier in a well-ventilated and stable location. It should be away from direct sunlight and other heat sources.
• Speaker Connections: Use good-quality wires to connect the speakers while ensuring correct polarity. Keep in mind that the wire terminals should be secured tightly.
• Audio Sources: Now you can connect your stereo-integrated amplifier to audio sources like:
  • Turntable: Use RCA cables to connect the turntable to the phono input, or employ an external phono preamp.
  • CD Player: RCA cables can be used to link CD players to a line-level input.
  • Tape Deck or Radio Tuner: These can be connected to a line-level input with RCA cables.
  • Auxiliary Devices: Smartphones, MP3 players, or streaming devices can also be connected to available line-level inputs using RCA cables or adapters.
• Grounding (if needed): Some turntables may require proper grounding to reduce interference. This can be achieved by attaching a grounding wire to the amplifier's designated ground terminal.
• Power On: You can switch on the system after connecting the amplifier to a grounded outlet. Remember to set volume and tone controls to a minimum.
• Testing and Adjusting: Gradually raise the volume to your preferred level. Test sources for functionality and fine-tune the audio with tone controls and balance adjustments.
