Can a new Cambridge 540p be so loud?

I just got my restored Dual 1219 with new old stock shure v15 type 2 up and running. I am running it through the cambridge 540p and can't believe the rumble. Ground for the Dual is fine and I checked with another turntable (which is 3 times louder). Is it possible that the Cambridge is this loud?

Is it switchable from MM and MC?

There is no comparison between the 540 and 640. The 640 is way better (I own one). You need to try a different phono stage before throwing more money at the problem. I love the 640 but your table may have issues with Cambridge?
