Ok I gotta a problem - can someone help? Or guide me to an online resource, I've had no luck so far.



My turntable wont work anymore so I borrowed a friend's very old Sony PS 515 (Direct Drive Full automatic) - think it's more than 20 yrs old - works perfectly fine at his place with his sony amp, but when I plug the stereo output into my 2001 model Sony MHC - Z100's MD inputs the signal is too weak - I can hear the songs at very very very very low volume, even with the amp at full volume which is 4000(Peak)W.



My friend's old amp has a phono input while mine has only options for MD and Video inputs (L n R). The turntable works perfectly fine with his old amp.



Does anyone know what could be the problem, or do I have to buy a pre-amp now with a phono input?



Heard the new ebw last night at almost zero volume. :(



Also borrowed the Come With Us and EBW 7 vinyls from him!! Can't figure out this problem before tonight's party!

Tried the Aux (named video) inputs, on my system too but the same problem!! Someone help - I'm goin nuts!

yeh u need a phono pre-amp mate, thats why its so quiet, the amp inputs youve got havent got enough beans to boost the signal.

:(

will go lookin for one today evening.

great. the dhl guy just delivered the 3 more from plastic. thx enzo, that was fast! but i don't know whether to feel happy or fucked.

Don't get fucked over when you get one. There alot of "audiophile" ones out there for $200+ that you really don't need unless you've got a stunning audio system. Behringer do a cheap one IIRC...
