All good, cheers for the help! Think I'll just go back to using the phono preamp in the integrated amplifier.

I have attached a photo. I switched it to the other side to try it out and the sound is distorted so it's definitely on MM. It does sound like everything is set up properly so not sure what the issue is. It just crackles on a few songs.

Thanks, yeah the switch is definitely on MM . Yes the cable with earth wire is coming from the turntable. The output cable going from phono preamp into the amplifier doesn't have a ground wire at the integrated amplifier end, just regular RCA cable. Could that be the issue?

No it's at MM. The cable from the phono preamp to the integrated amp only has an earth wire on the preamp connection end, should it have one at the integrated amp side too? Thanks again for all the suggestions.

The cartridge is a dual moving magnet stereo cartridge. Phono settings are in the photo. It's wired to the Cambridge with RCA cables to the A1 input, see photo.

The integrated amp is a Cambridge Audio AXA35. It does sound like something is being overloaded, maybe I need to try a different preamp

Hi all, Complete novice here, so a lot of what I say below might sound daft! I have had a turntable/integrated amplifier set up for a while and it was playing fine. I had wanted to try use a phono stage amplifier and bypass the one in the integrated amplifier, as I heard this would improve...
