Hi all,
I'm tearing my hair out at an issue with my setup and I'm hoping that you no doubt far more knowledgeable minds will be able to offer some advice... Possibly it's something very obvious but I'm no expert when it comes to the intricacies of audios (I just know when things sound bad!).
Anyway, my problem is basically that when I have one turntable connected directly to my amp, the sound is fine (considering the temporary budget speakers I'm working with at the moment anyway...), but when I connect two turntables via a mixer that is then connected to the amp the sound instantly becomes very muddy, even distorted.
I cannot work out why this might be the case - possibly something to do with the wiring? Could it be anything to do with the current speakers themselves? As they are probably the worst components in the set-up, but I don't see how it could be that, as the sound is noticeably improved when one turntable goes directly into the amp.
Any help would be much appreciated, I'm tearing my hair out here!
Many thanks,
James
Components (in case useful):
Turntables: Technics 1210Mk2
Mixer: Allen And Heath Xone-22
Amp: Pioneer SA-506
Speakers: some inherited cambridge audio ones
