Turntable Distortion

I don't believe so, its a TT only and to test if it worked at all I tried plugging the TT directly into the Creek before purchasing the separate phone pre. Sound came through w/o the pre but at an extremely low level.

Thanks for the beoworld tip, I've posted this question there as well.

The distortion I'm experiencing is extreme, definitely not just a sonic preference. The 640P is new, so I'll see if I can get a replacement for that first to completely rule out a defective 640P. Assuming the preamp is not the problem will most likely just look to replace the TT. Will post back here once I have more info &/or resolution.

Yes, the TT is using the MM input and MM setting on the 640P.

Thanks, Raul. How do I adjust the gain in the 640P?

I thought the Destiny adjustable gain applied only to the active preamp, so this shouldn't cause any change if running in passive mode?

Tried 640P instead of the Destiny phono board as I was hoping for pretty good results for almost $350 less. Would I be hearing a significant improvement jumping from the 640P to the Destiny pre?

Also, how difficult would it be to install the Destiny phono board?
