Record player with studio monitors?
So, I'm a massive audiophile and an audio engineer, and absolutely love my studio monitors. (Equator D5s, aw yiss)
Lately I've decided that I want a record player (because I don't have one for some reason) and I was wondering if there was any (though I doubt it) that would support two monitors (in studio, duh) with a 1/4" connection.
Any tips help. Thanks guys!

You will need a turntable with a built in pre-amp or an external pre-amp in order to connect the turntable to those speakers. Just search "phono preamp" in Amazon or whatever.

Not sure I understand your question, but I believe that would be the job of the amplifier (supporting more than 1 set of speakers) a turntable only supports the turntable ( I'm thinking traditional turntable ) If you have a modern turntable with USB and built-in this and that, it may be different.

LOL you're a massive audiophile and studio engineer? Why you asking here then and not Headfi.org or something?
Anyway, what you're describing is possible. Run your record player to an external phono preamp, then into a stereo or home theater receiver.
Then plug your headphones into that. Studio monitor headphones typically have the 1/4 plug, or an adapter that goes onto a regular headphone plug.
