Default Newbie advice sought Amplifiers for turntables

You need a pre-amp for magnetic cartridge used on a turn table. You must
know if the cartridge in your turn table is using a moving magnet or moving
coil type. The pre-amp must follow the proper equalization standard curve
for your cartridge. Most of the high end audio stores sell good quality
pre-amps for turn tables. Radio Shack may still have one as well, but this
will be a low end unit, and may not perform as well as the high end ones.

om...
OK, i have just bought a turntable from ebay (the first one I've ever
owned). I want to know what amplifiers I need to get it going. Do I
need a control and a power amplifier or a pre-amplifier - basically
I'm a bit confused.

Thanks,

Stuart Fox
