Putting my system together

[alineinc99]

Hi,

I am new to all audiokarma and to the audiophile world.

I like vintage systems so I bought a MA 5100 McIntosh pre amp-amp, AR 303 speakers (4ohm output), and Thorens 160 turntable (unfortunately 5 pin hook up).

Can someone help me with how to wire the speakers to the receiver for the 4ohm output?
I also need to know what kind of pib to get and how to hook that up to the turntable and amp as well?
Are the things I bought compatible...?

I am reading a lot online but I feel I have fell down a rabbit hole....or this is easy and I am making it complicated. Either way its really cool to learn about all this.

I appreciate the help. Ive learned a lot reading the forums

There are a number of threads on the internet and various audio sites about replacing the cable with RCAs. Here's a source for the cable:
