Hi all, I’m pretty new to decent audio equipment and slightly out of my depth so bear that in mind.
I have a Pro-Ject Xpression 3 turntable and a Rothwell Rialto mm/mc phono stage which I’m trying to get working with an Arcam A60 amplifier. I’m plugging the phono stage into the Mag P.U. din port through a din to RCA converter cable.
When I play a record the sound is really distorted. If I take the phono stage out and plug directly into the turntable the sound is clear but the level is really quiet, even at full volume.
I have tried the same set up with a different amplifier (NAD C330BEE) and it works fine so I know it’s not an issue with the speakers, turntable or phono stage being faulty.
I also used the Arcam amp to play music from my computer and that sounds fine as well.
Does anyone have any idea what might be going on here? It’s possibly a rookie error…but then I am a rookie. Any help would be much appreciated.
