I have just got a Mullard 5-10 Valve Amp and I am having a small problem.
The pre-amp only has two coaxial inputs: one marked "G" and one marked "R". The selector switch is marked Radio "LP 78 MIC". Using adaptors I managed to get two RCA phono from my rega 2/ AT 110e cartridge into a coaxial input. The single speaker lead goes to an 8 Ohm Tannoy Mecury M2 speaker. With the "G" input selected and the pre-amp switched to "LP", I do hear the record except it is very quietly. All the valves light up. Am I missing something obvious like a different cartridge or speakers? Or is a trip to a valve amp in order? Or is there a book that someone could recommend regarding valve amp repair?
Any advice gratefully recieved.
