Hello,

After long searches, I found no answer to my question. I wanted to know if it was possible to connect a vinyl turntable to Bose Soundtouch 20 speakers.
I'm just trying to revive some old vinyl records, so I won't dedicate a budget >400 euros to it.
Thank you in advance.
See you soon.

    Good evening,
    It is indeed possible, these speakers have a female mini jack auxiliary input,
    so you will need a "mini jack -> RCA" cable like this one:
    http://www.electronicamostoles.com/WebRoot/Store/Shops/electronicamostoles/4A48/E899/E384/C685/9BDF/D974/1427/A397/ipod-rca%5B1%5D.jpg
    The red and white RCA cables will be connected directly to the turntable if it has a built-in preamp and thus RCA line outputs
    As in this model for example:
    https://www.amazon.fr/DTJ-301-USB-Tourne-disque-Argent/dp/B004NSJ40M/ref=pd_cp_23_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0EV00M0P670JV4GA55JS
    If the turntable is "classic" you will need to insert a RIAA preamp like this one:
    http://www.bax-shop.fr/media/catalog/product/D/A/DAP_PRE101_front_01.jpg
    Connect the turntable to "input" + the ground wire to "ground"
    The "output" from the preamp to the speakers.

    In the Naudin family, my favorite is Uncle Fernand.

      You gave +1 to my proposal, does that mean it suits you and that you understood everything well? Thank you.

      Yes, so I was looking at turntables with built-in preamps at the same time.
      A big thank you to you.
      Have a good evening.

      But you're welcome, and it's true that current turntables have a built-in preamp because modern amplifiers don't have a phono input. A turntable with a built-in preamp will be better, with fewer cables, etc...
      Enjoy listening...;-)

        +1 but for that "a turntable with built-in preamp will be better" it's not certain.
