Default why won't this work?

Just curious; I'm covered for a good phono pre, just
curious why i couldn't run my phono thru my Langevin DVC.


So before I got my TT pre, I put a pair of RCA-1/4"
adapters on the TT and plugged it in. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. I've
plugged in many things this way and know the cables are
good. What gives? Shouldn't it boost whatever you ask it
to? Any one else ever try using a regular preamp for a
phono stage?


You should have gotten some kind of sound, but it should have sounded very
messed up due to the lack of RIAA equalization which roughtly amounts to a
6 dB/octave roll-off with a kink in the middle.
