You may want to check and see if the output drops going into the EQ with RCAs. Some balanced gear drop the signal by as much as 10db to prevent overload. If this occurs the signal will be very weak from the phono. In this case, you will need a balanced line converter.
Balanced to RCA or Opposite
Being at the apex of my search jorney for a perfect sound I purchased today Behringer DEQ2496 Ultra Curve Pro equalizer.
They idea is to plug it between a turntable (Oracle) and integrated SS amplifier(Dk Design). I hope that by introducing it into my audio system I will be able to "soften" or "warm up" the sound. The problem is that the turntable and amplifier both use RCA input/output connectors. And my new to me Behringer equalizer only has XLR (aka Balanced)connectors. Should I use some XLR(Balanced) to RCA adapters...I wonder if there are some better options?
