Hi Guys, Found this forum and just joined. I decided to pick up a turntable and listen to some of my albums that have been stored for years. I purchased a used Technics sl-dd22 turntable which played fine at the sellers house. When I hook it up to my Rotel receiver I get sound but it is extremely low. I tried using different cables and different inputs with the same result. Any idea what could be wrong? Could it have something to do with the missing ground cable? TIA for any help.
"Low and Tinny" means you have not found a Phono input, as cbdb says.
A phono input was standard when everything was records. Then albums got "stored for years" and hi-fi amps lost their obsolete phono inputs. Then fashion turned back, hemlines rose, some new rigs feature phono inputs. If not, get the phono preamp, $20 to $20,000. ($99 buys a better preamp than you had when Live Dead was still in the wrap.)
