1. You need a pre-amplifier. Find an electronics shop for that.
2. While you are talking to the sales person, ask them if they have a replacement cartridge for your turntable also.
Only buy if they have both.

This is not really a question about TVs and home theater systems but I'm hoping to receive advice on connecting an old Sherwood PD-701B turntable to a not quite as old Yamaha HTR-5550 AV receiver. I do not believe the turntable has a built-in preamp and the receiver does not have a phono connection. I plan on purchasing a new turntable but would like to use the components I presently own until I'm ready to make that purchase. What do I NEED and HOW do I connect these older components? Also, If I can connect the turntable to the receiver I would like to replace the stylus/cartridge. The head shell is fixed to the tone arm but it does look like the cartridge can be removed by loosening two screws. Does anyone know for sure if the cartridge can be replaced? Thanks in advance for any help/advice you can give me.
