Have an old Pioneer PL514 turntable.
This is connected via a pre-amp to my main AVR (as the latter has no phono source) using standard RCA from the pre-out to the CD input. There is also a ground from the turntable to the rear panel of the pre-amp.
Two issues .
1/ There is a very low-level hum when listening to the turntable. It is relative to the volume, but is only audible on fairly quiet tracks.
2/ Bit of a volume difference between this source and other using the main AVR exclusively. As I am using the pre-out, the volume on the pre-amp cannot be adjusted. It can come as a bit of a shock when you switch sources.
Thanks in advance for ideas.
