**BZZZZZZZTTTT!
You need RIAA equalisation for a phono preamp. You also don't mention
whether you are using a moving magnet, or a moving coil (low output)
phono cartridge. MC carts require further amplification, as well as
RIAA equalisation.
A useless point here, MM vs MM.
**You mean: MC vs. MM.
And no, it is far from a useless point. Neither of us knows what kind of
cart is being used. It is more likely to be a MM, but it could be an MC,
thus compounding the problem. Given the knowledge imparted by the OP we need
to examine all possible parts of the problem.
If the O.P. is that clueless about needing equalization, chance are
slim to none that they have a moving-coil audiophool cartridge (and
Slim just left town).
**Nope. I agree that an ME is less likely though. The OP may have snagged an
eBay 'bargain' with an unknown cart fitted. I've seen it many times.
Don't know why folks always bring this up. The
problem is just no RIAA here.
**That is certainly the major part of the problem.
