Yes, if the speakers have an analog line input. Its built-in moving-magnet phono preamp is switchable, so the turntable can output line level or feed an external phono stage.

Thorens supplies it with an Audio-Technica AT-VM95E moving-magnet cartridge. The cartridge sits in a detachable headshell on the TP 72 carbon-tube tonearm.
