Is there such a thing as a tiny amp that just takes output from a turntable and can power two speakers? Everything I'm seeing are like, AVR receivers with HDMI and it makes me think I'm not looking up the right search terms. Basically we have a small space for a turntable setup in our kitchen, and to keep it ~aesthetic~ I just want the turntable and speakers to be seen.

yes. There are a few high end brands making them Such as this NAD, and all the rest are aliexpress sixletters. Here's a random one I found on amazon.. Note this doesn't have a pre-amp, so your turn table either needs one or you need an external one. Or you need to find one with one built in like the NAD.

Perfect, thanks!

Does your turntable have a built-in preamp? If it's a vintage one, this is unlikely, and you'll need an additional preamp. If it's more modern, it may have it.

Yeah I bought a Fluance RT81 and it said it has a built in pre-amp, so I should be ok.

Probably gonna spend way more money on bookshelf speakers next. 😂

Get some active/powered speakers and you won't need an separate amp at all, just plug them right into the turntable.

Part of this little project is being able to replace this ancient Bose Bluetooth thing we have in the kitchen, so I got one of these things that says it supports BT. Hopefully everything will work so I'll be able to play records or stream music from phones whenever we're cooking or hanging out.
