I have a JC Penney MCS series turntable I hooked it up but sound is very low. Has a ground screw on back ,what needs to go to it and where . I have it hooked up to the tape input as there is no phono port on my receiver. I also tried the aux port but the same outcome. I am thinking it has to do with the ground screw, but I see no ground screw on receiver to hook it to.
Output of cartridge is less than line level output. Pre amp that turntable. Your amp sounds like it was made after everything went line level.
Ground keeps low level static electricity down. TT outputs are unbalanced so the Amp and TT are grouned to each other anyway.
You nee phono preamps....price starting about 25 to thousand dollars...
then you can hook the preamps to the line in of your amplifier or receiver..(auxiliary, tape in, cd)
signal from turntable is different from tapedeck..turntable signal is weaker. it need preamps to match the line in of the receiver.
suggestion: get an old amplifier or receiver with phono input...these old original made in japan or usa etc sound great!
Didi you try to change the middle. that was what was wrong with mine
