Hi,
I've bought a second hand vinyl set up piece by piece from ebay.
A Yamaha TT-300 turntable
Rotel RA8408X3 amplifier
A pair of Mission 760 monitors
I switched on and I have that common problem of the set-up not seeming to have much volume.
I can turn it up full and it gives me a plesent but low key level when you would expect it to be blasting out!
So, I thought does the amp have a phono sound stage? Well it's got a dedicated phono input but i know that some time this does not mean that is has the internals. The turntable has phono plug outputs and a ground wire which I've connected to the terminal on the amp.
I bought a little phono pre-amp (AV-link) and hooked it up and all I get now is a pulsing buzzing.
i've tried it with another amplifier which i know works, ive tried the speakers elsewhere so they're fine. I'm not sure if a cartrage change would make any diference but in turms of pick-up it seems to be fine.
What do i need to do to get this kit singing?? Any ideas.
