What you need to do is disconect the turntable from the amp and touch the phono connectors of the amp. You should hear a buzz on each channel. If you don't then the pre-amp for the deck inside the amp is faulty. If OK plug the turntable back in to the amp and remove the connectors to the cartridge. With the amp on - touch each wire end cartridge connector. You should hear a buzz on the left with one wire and a buzz on the right with another wire. The other two wires are earth and will not probably give a responce. Again no buzz and there's a fault in the wires that connect to your amp. Or a fault inside the turntable itself.

This doesn't quite add up. First remove the wires from the turntable. If the sound returns from the other inputs, I would have to say that you may have plugged the leads from the turntable into a Record Output jacks. This will load down the output of the preamp. Here's the kicker. Even if the above works as I described, the turntable should not be playing. If you need more assistance, or would like to inquire about a repair, please visit my website at audioserviceclinic.com. You may contact me there. Thank you.

The "needle", now called a "stylus", doesn't produce anything on its own. At the worst, the tip will shear off and it will slide across and damage the vinyl. So probably your "cartridge" is defective. Now, most low rumbling distortion would come from your turntables motor or platter bearings. Also if you unplugged the Phono leads from the preamp ports in the back of your amp and the noise goes away then you have learned that the amplifier is not producing the effect. Does this help?

is the wire loose on either end? sometimes the electrical plugs can cause noise due to resistance, so trying different outlets might help too

Try removing the cover and looking for a broken belt. Make sure that the motor is spinning too. If you find a broken belt, let me know and I'll help you find a replacement.

Good luck!

Are you using the phono input on the Sony? If so, you're getting too much gain, you've already got a phono pre amp in the Behringer. Try using the tape or C.D. input. That should solve it.

SOURCE: I have an Gemini TT01 MKII turntable. The problem

The mono button on your amp is simply feeding one channel to both sides, so is no indication that the other channel is working. Here's what to do. With the good channel comming off your deck, swap it over so it's going in the dead channel side on your amp. If the channel does not spring into life, it's not the record deck that is faulty, but your amp. Now your thinking but it works on CD! True, but the record deck socket on the amp has another pre-amp just for that purpose only. You can track this pre-amp down by following the wires from the socket.
If on the other hand the dead channel comes to life when you swap the jacks around, then it's is the deck. The most obvious fault being the cartridge. But some decks also have a pre-amp in them.

No sound through the built in speakers. Turntable turns fine and I can hear the record play but it does not transfer to the speakers. New needle makes no difference

Remove the 4 wires to the cartridge. With the system on. Put your finger on each of the wires separately. On two of the wires you should hear a buzz (one on each channel) on the others very little or perhaps a faint buzz.
If you hear the loud buzz(s) the amp inside the deck is working and you have either a faulty cartridge or have not connected the two wires right.
If you don't hear any buzz, the amp inside the unit is faulty. If the amp has other functions that do work (such as radio) then it is the pre-amp for the cartridge that has gone. As this will not affect the other functions.

I bought an old Garrard turntable. But when I put a record on you can't hear it playing through the speakers. I thought it was the needle but I replaced it and still no sound through speaker. I know...

Firstly check all the connections to the cartridge where the stylus fits. If they are OK. Remove them and with the amp on touch each wire -one at a time- with your finger. If the system is OK you should hear on two wires a buzz - one for each channel. If you do replace the cartridge. If you don't, then there's either a bad connection, or a faulty pre-amp inside the stereo.

Just switched my needle on an ION Profile LP but no sound will come out of my speakers.

Disconect the wires to the cartridge. With the amp on touch each wire one at a time with your finger. You should hear on Two wires a buzz- one for each channel. If you do then the cartridge has failed. If you don't then there's either a bad connection to your amp, or the magnetic cartridge pre-amp inside the amp has failed. This will not effect any other part of the amp.

Quiet distorted sound coming from my turntable

If the turntable's cartridge/needle are "magnetic", you need an amplifier with a "PHONO" input. Most new amplifiers do NOT have one, as that stopped when CDs began replacing LPs decades ago. Since the reemergence of LPs, some expensive amps have added a PHONO input again. Only really cheap turntables have CERAMIC cartridge/needles (usually under $100), which work fine with any amplifier input but are of a much lower quality than magnetic. Places like Radio Shack and The Source sell inexpensive Pre-amplifiers for this task of increasing the sound level and correcting the frequency response to RIAA standards. The latest turntable I bought had a Preamplifier built in plus a USB connection for converting LPs to Digital.

Turntable only playing in one speaker

In my business I work on a lot of turntables. Specifically, Memorex, Anders Nicholson, Innovative Technology and Emerson. 99% of the time when I only have sound coming out of one channel it is due to a broken cartridge. If you look at the tone arm head from underneath you will see a rubber fork that the needle arm sits in. There are usually 2 ceramic cartridges attached to the rubber fork. Those transmit the sounds from the needle. If one of those brakes then that channel will not transmit any sound.

Distorted, cracked sound coming through to the speakers

is it possible your new reciever has a built in phono pre-amp?

If so, you need to switch off the pre-amp inside the turntable (lift up the rubber matt, and rotate the plate untill you see the switch at the back)

Try again now?

Sound quality is terrible on my Crosley CR79 turntable. Sounds very tinny and terrible. Got a new needle and the problem still exists.

This could be an earth lead to the cartridge problem, or the cartridge itself. Check the connections.

Technics SL-L3 turntable no sound until warm up

either the cartridge is bad in the phonograph tone arm.  Or the pre-amp in the stereo is bad...remember that the turntable is the only accessory that uses the pre-amp input on the stereo.  I'm betting the pre-amp is bad.
