Double check to make certain that you have connected the new phono preamp to the "line" inputs on your amplifier and not to the "phono" inputs. Set the gain to the lowest option and set the loading to 47K, or whatever is closest to that, and run ... 
Non-English Non-Operatic Singers?
I listen to a lot of French popular music, but doubt that most non-french would care for the music and/or the recording quality. Much of his stuff is corny, but my most recent purchase was a 13 cd box set of Jean Ferrat covering "most" of his wor... 
Vintage Speaker Repair?
The following (link) was started by EE's of Orange County Speaker Repair (Garden Grove) after they closed. What are the speaker/tweeter model #'s (see Diatone parts on Ebay from Japan)?   DeKay

Yes, that is it (ones sans any added cleaning agents). My original pack of them has a finer grain than later one's, but no-one has complained about the later variation(s). I stick a slice of it down to a small piece of thick paper, but have a to...

Jerry: I'll add keeping the stylus clean to your list. I've been using the original Magic Eraser for years now, but my arm has an up/down lever (don't think I would try it manually). Before that I was using a travel sized ultrasonic toothbrush ...

Not certain. Many Rega TT posts mention the use of light/rigid wall shelves or light rigid racks. As the Rega wall shelves have hiked quite a bit in price and I'm not certain if the less expensive Project wall shelf (said to be good) is still pr...

Check out the following thread with attention to the posts by caterham1700 regarding a DIY Ikea Lak Rack. Without all the fuss (also the way the legs are constructed has changed over the years making the build much more complicated) I suspect tha...

I'm back: Just looked @ one of your system pics from a previous thread and wonder if you still have it set up this way. Pic shows a less than sturdy looking table with the TT setting on top of an amplifier (subwoofer placed directly below the am...

Do you have a source aside from vinyl? If the sound of it gets confused with more complex music then it could be the amp/speakers. If this only happens with vinyl playback then something is amiss with the analog gear. A P3 with a decent cartrid...

Something is wrong. List all of your year with specifics and maybe someone here can help figure out what. My TT/arm are approx. 50 years old and my phono preamp retailed for <$200 - this setup plays everything without a hitch.   DeKay
