I'd always wanted a record player because I thought the idea of having my music on vinyl was awesome. Anyways, my girlfriend bought me a relatively cheap Crosley player and its fine and all, but the speakers are trash, really. So for when I move to college I want to hook it up to a receiver and have some bookshelf speakers just for quality purposes. When I plug it into any other input (video 1, etc) it sounds just fine. However, both receivers in my house have a phono input, but anytime I plug anything into it (whether it be my iPod or the record player, it's really loud and just sounds like crap. Very muffled noise. Can this be fixed by a basic preamp, or is it just a crappy player? I just need a simple solution. Any comments appreciated. Thanks Chris |

Or, does the turntable have any provisions for getting signal to a receiver? Does it have a pair of "phono out" jacks on the back panel? |

Yes it has two audio out jacks on the back. I really know nothing about my player :p like cartridge etc (if it even has one?) |

Here's the Crosley main page, pick a table; http://www.crosleyradio.com/Turntables.aspx There should be a model number on the table you own. Look on the back panel if nothing is marked on the table itself. How are the jacks on your table marked? Input? Output? . |

Your receivers also appear to have phono pre amps installed. Therefore, you do not want to double up on the phono pre amps. Just plug your turntable directly into a "line level" input - AUX, TAPE, CD, etc. The problems you describe have nothing to do with the quality of the tunrtable and everything to do with too many phono pre amps being involved. . |
