FYI: I've had one these for over 5 years. It still works, sounds fine. For 50 watts/channel, it has a surprising amount of volume. My setup is input via airplay (wifi) using an old Apple Airport...

You would need a separate phono pre-amp, then plug that into the RCA inputs.

Is the preamp on this good enough for a vintage turntable? Or would I need to get a separate preamp?

This is not a tube amp. It is a solid state amp with a tube pre amp section to make it look cool and add some of that nice HD.
At any rate most tube amps spec terribly, worse than bluetooth in...

Could this in principle take the pre-out from an amp and run a couple of speakers? Much cheaper and cooler than buying another low end amp

Because it's a $100 amplifier and if it was purely solid state it would almost certainly be kind of harsh. Running a tube section helps take the edge off

I have a different model of Monoprice tube amp with Bluetooth, and use it all the time--the why is very simple. The amp's primary use is for my turntable (which is wired into the preamp), but having...

I had this amp a few years ago. The problem is that transformer, housed in the black box behind the tubes, makes the whole thing hum. Since then, I bought a couple of inexpensive tube pre-amps and...

So how do I replace a tube on this thing?
I bought a similar unit a few years ago with 2 tubes. Recently the device just magically stopped working. Monoprice is no help. So I want to speculate...
