Alex Yes I prefer the phono that I have over the phono inputs on the receiver. Are there plans online for an attenuator that I could put together?

No there is no gain control. I think it's the pre amp overloading the inputs.. I need to look into a new receiver anyways.

I have infinity primus p363 speakers and a ortofon 2m MM cartridge. I am eventually going to change out the stereo receiver

The receiver is a technics SA-GX130 if that helps anyone

And when I'm having the issues.. I am running cables from my turntable to pre amp, then pre amp to phono rca inputs on the receiver..

I had the pre amp hooked up to computer speakers that were like 90 bucks and had a sub. I just ran my rcas to the back of them and it sounded great for what it was.

I ran my rca cables with a ground from my TT directly to my stereo and it plays fine which I don't understand. And the pre amp is fine because I had it hooked to speakers earlier today and it worked (no stereo receiver)

I tried to plug into the tape rca and it didn't help.. Its a good pre amp that I have used for a while now and I would still like to be able to use it .. But it seems like I'm going to have to get a new stereo amp receiver..

Thanks for your response! It's a pro ject audio phono DC MM/MC box

I don't know if this is the right place to ask but I have a phono pre amp attached to a 1980s technics stereo receiver. When attached the sound is distorted and screwed with. When my turntable is directly attached to the amp it works fine.. What am I missing here and what's the issue?
