However your current phono stage / cartridge match is DEFINITELY a problem; it’s just that you may be dealing with multiple issues here. @mulveling The root problem is WHY crank the volume up just past half way and there tends to be distortio... 
Same power supply from piano and amplifier
Do you guys have any idea how can I fix this or what is going on? If using one power supply, make sure it can handle both load. Put a 2uF bipolar capacitor on the negative lead between LINE OUT of digital piano and LINE IN of mini amplifier, s...
