I don't own this cartridge or a Rega turntable. However I have owned several Grado carts over the years - dating way back to the mono era. I recently had some email correspondence with Grado and they responded quickly and helpfully, even though the matter would not have resulted in a sale. This indicates a company which really cares for its customers. So if suggestions here from others don't answer your questions, send an email to Grado. I'm sure they can answer your question.

I grounded my turntable to the pre amp. Look. At the back of the pre amp for a ground bolt

Mine never has and I have a wooden floor. Rega's do not use spring suspensions. I have had numerous turntables with spring suspensions and they bounce and skip unless you have concrete floors.

Nope, you need to buy the 3.5 adapter, you can get a cheap one off of this site while you're buying these cans, or you can get the Grado adapter, I'd get the Grado adapter, seems more solid.

Hey Joe, I bet you can open the bottom plate and you may find a missing mounting screw or a loose or cracked PC board that you might be able to fix yourself. My Qinpu amp audio signal will drop and come back up and now it sits on the shelf. Unfortunately there is not warranty service or quality control to report to, so we're screwed. I'll never buy another import amp without warranty or support in the USA.

Does the CD tray respond? Does it open when it is supposed to? If you move the tone arm off it's rest post does the turntable begin to turn? If so the unit is powered up. Is the source selection knob not working? I hope you have better luck than I did with the unit I bought, I was profoundly disappointed with mine. The 2-watts per channel audio output was a huge disappointment. You won't get any "thumping" bass our of this unit. It doesn't distort, but has the sound of a 50's vintage table radio.Good Luck

sorry I'm not to tech savvy. I had a friend help and I didn't know much of what was going on. I do have a separate amp, which is an inuke nu1000sp, made by a behringer. I have 3 total, 1 each on three chairs. they do work really good, especially compared to the higher price ones. if I can find more info I will let you know.

I have the same problem and unfortunately have not been able to play music from it either. Maybe we can get an answer from the makers on what we might be doing incorrect.

I had same problem. I found that moving the plug slightly up, down or left, right, it would start working momentarily. The connector is probably not fastened well to the circuit board. I returned mine and bought a different type. (thanks Amazon). This one works great and sounds better.

They have built in amps so I have multiple methods to provide signals. I would be careful, we have purchased 3 to get two working units. We could have returned a defective unit but the warrant requirement that we pay to ship the defective unit made it not worth it. The build quality is TERRIBLE. But the two we have working sound incredible and are used daily in my wife's fitness studio. That being said I have had to bypass the on/off switch to keep one working... All in all they have been very well worth the effort because of the price. Good luck!

Mine is in a home stereo setup. Quietest turntable I've ever had. I had issues with the same cartridge because of the high output. Changed them out and no more hum.

The other solutions are perfect - you need to hit a 'mono' button in your DAW or use an external monitor controller with a 'mono' button. I have one cube as well and use one TS (i.e. mono guitar cable, not a TRS cable) from one of my headphone outs of my interface. My interface's monitor outs are already in use for my main monitors. I hit my DAW's 'mono' button, silence my mains and turn up my headphone out going to the cube and voila!

FYI: Prior to 2013, this turntable shipped with a DJ cartridge/stylus rather than the AT95E it currently ships with. The original cart DJ cart was certainly more susceptible to pickup some rumble as the motor is not as well isolated as some more expensive turntables and this could be an issue with classical records; for pop music the DJ cartridge was acceptable. I don't own an AT95E cartridge but I have other AT current cartridges at a similar price point and they are very good with classical records.

I have used the daisy chain cord out of my boss pedal board and a morely power supply and they work fine. If you have tried a power supply that powers up boss pedals and it does not work then you likely have a faulty unit.

Try plugging in to an open spot in the audio section. Is your "CD" section unused? Plug into the white and red RCA-type plugs. Just remember which section you use when you want to play your turntable! Good luck! No guarantees, Lol!

i don't think there are any bells or whistles on this turntable. as for you signal strength are you sure your plugs are correct? an audio line out will have a different signal strength than a headphone jack.

"What am I doing wrong?" Trying to save money. Mine worked ok as long as I was within 6 feet of it. I needed it to work at 25 feet so I bought a professional unit from a music supply store and haven't had any problems since. IIRC, there's a switch on the side you might have missed but this is a cheap sketchy little bit of electronica so don't expect much.

Eric, Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I have this unit on a bike trailer for synchronized to music Xmas lights. I finially got the bike set up yesterday to check it out but couldn't get the unit to work. I installed my old amp to get the music to work. From what I remember last year, the amp starts playing music when power is turned on if the power switch is already turned on. - Mike
