It's not the sound of VPI. Look elsewhere.

It is always better, theoretically, to avoid adapters. Will you hear a difference? I doubt it but you might. 
Please Help - Int Amp Problem - Can't Firgure Out
You have confirmed that your speakers are connected correctly to the receiver? If the headphone connection is working properly this is the only think I can think of short of the receiver being defective. 
VPI HW-19 Upgrade question SAMA or SDS?
