Do I need a preamp? Plugged it into an amp and its tinny and quiet?
Plug it into the 'phono' input rather than a line input.
Does your AMP have a phono stage? Or are you plugged in to standard RCA inputs?
They need a moving magnet phono stage.
No phono - only aux1 or aux2?
You're stuffed then. HTH. (-:
You can get a phono pre amp and connect it to the amp via tuner, aux etc.
Need to get a preamp then right?
Aye. They dont cost a great deal. Richersounds do a cambridge audio one for not a lot of money
any pointers on which type/model to get?
I got a rega3 turntable and a denon pma-255 amp.
How much do you want to spend. I got a Beresford branded TC-750LC for about £40. But can be had from ebay, its a generic model I think. Had it plugged into my old Arcam amp with rega rp1 and sounded great. Got a new amp with a great phono stage now, so it was obsoleted. Oh and managed to sneek an RP3 into the house too at the same time.
Rega do a preamp as well. Fono MM is meant to be good. But its around £200
I've got reasonably decent kit, a Michell Engineering turntable and quality amp, I've no complaints with the cheap Behringer preamp/phonostage at about £20 off Amazon.
Cheers B.A.nana - £23 with cables, great starting point I'm sure 🙂
I use this with a Cambridge Audio amp:

Comes with a power supply and has a ground. Never missed a beat and does exactly what it says it will
