Turntable Problem

[galvin.ben]

Hi,

I've just set up my new turntable and am very confused at the problem I am having.

I have set up a Pro-ject Debut Carbon, running into a Musical Fidelity V-LPSII phonostage, then into my stereo.

When everything is plugged in, the signal seems quite weak with some parts quieter than others and slightly muffled. However, this is the odd part, when I unplug one channel (doesn't matter which) from the back of the turntable, signal is boosted and sounds almost perfect.

Please help!

Thank you,

Ben.

Hi.What have you got the phono stage plugged into

 

[galvin.ben]

I've tried it with different outputs. Into a Saffire Pro 40 and then outputted into a kenwood stereo. And I've tried it straight into Tannoy Monitors.

Hi.What is a Saffire Pro 40 and have you tried plugging it straight into the kenwood

 

[galvin.ben]

Saffire Pro is an audio interface I connect with my computer. I use it so I can have several inputs and several outputs at the same time. I haven't tried it straight into the kenwood as I haven't got the cables right now. Out of interest, what would the reason be for that to make a difference?

Hmmm, could be that, you're right. I'll get another phono cable tomorrow and try it straight into the stereo. Thanks for the help!

I am not really sure what difference it would make but it could have something to do with the analogue / digital process
