I have a turntable with the Audio Techics AT3600L Cartridge. My amplifier is 200watts with 300 mv sensitivity. Why is there very little volume?

I would try a different cadrtridge and check every connection ,RCAs,amp, even the fuse.

you need to run a turntable through a dedicated phono, or RIAI stage- If not you will have this sort of problem

If you're sure you have the polarity right on the cartridge, that's about all there is to it. Check the connections, make sure the terminals are all mating snugly etc. ...was this working at all before? You got to have a phono input or preamp, turntables aren't strong enough by themselves, but you probably know this.

On page 18 of the manual, it lists the steps for audio settings--I would suggest you go thru all the steps in the order shown for that page as well as 19 and 20--You may want to recheck the settings on your amplifier as I have not had this problem on any discs.

I assume that you are using a standard LP record player. Most amps today do not handle conventional phonos, however, an inexpensive pre-amp between the player and any amp will take care of this.

I also have a turntable that is audio technica AT LP60 , do I also have to buy an amp or can you tell me what to use. It is for a 13 year old and I dont want to have to spend 70 for this and then buy an amp. Somebody please help. I didnt know there were no speakers. i need it fast. Sorry this is a question not an answer

This is a preamp and don't really add much power/volume. You may need to adjust the mic closer or bump up the amp.

This turntable should have a pre amp built in. If it doesnt you will need it. I have the audio technica lp 120 and the pre amp on that is fine

The Audio-Technica AT311EP will replace the Technics P23, and you might hear an improvement in sound quality. It's probably the best p-mount cartridge you can get for about $30. A little cheaper is the Audio-Technica AT92ECD (practically the same cartridge) for about $5 less on average. You can't go wrong with either of these. Good Luck! P.S.---An added benefit of the AT92ECD cartridge is that it comes with a convenient small screwdriver to facilitate easier installation of the cartridge on your turntable. Another thing to note is that you would only use the p-mount cartridge, itself, and not the universal adapter supplied for non-p-mount turntables. I hope that helps!

I use this amp in my vehicle to amplify the music signal from my phone to the AUX input of the sound system. It works very well, not only giving my additional volume but very clean sound. I also have a pair of Sennheiser wireless headphones but have not used the amp in conjunction with them. I suspect that it would work very well to amplify your turntable signal. One thing to consider... If this is a high end turntable, might you be losing resolution by using a digital device ( even a good one ) to amplify the signal?

If the signal to your Onkyo amp is very weak, like some older turntable/cartridge combinations, the pre amp will prevent having to drive the amp at high levels to get acceptable volume.

Teeny tiny print, but it looks like it says "Output: 1 200W" -- hope that helps. But this might help more -- we are on our 2nd replacement of this item, wonderfully handled by 4 to 1 Wholesale. First time turntable stopped turning, 2nd time burning/electrical smell. From what I can tell searching on my own system, we bought the first machine April 4, 2013. Good luck!

My guess would be that either the line is close to or running along with a power cord, or you need to ground the turntable. Or if you had to get a small turntable amplifier like I did, ground that. Good luck!

YOU WILL NEED A PHONO PREAMP, Just check out Amazon for some phono preamps, $20-60 should get you one. That goes between your turntable and the amp inputs. I have this amp and it sounds great, make sure you use a 24VDC power supply, nice clean output I drive 2 MTM towers and they sound great with this amp.....

It maybe needs tuned. Your amp has enough wattage to make it loud enough to make people cover their ears when turned up. Have you searched the home theatre FORUMS for answers? That usually helps

If your turntable has an internal pre-amp, the problem is probably with that piece of your equipment. If it doesn't have an in internal amp, this product should help. Most older turntables do not have built-in pre-amps. I'm assuming you have your turntable connected to an external amp. If it is a stand-alone (speakers in the phonograph) machine, this will not help.

I couldn't tell you about the wattage, but I will say that the only complaint I have about this amp is that it doesn't get very loud. Its part of what attracted me to this item in the first place (my little kids have blown more than one pair of speakers by messing with the volume knob on my former, way over-sized amp when it was off) but I maybe I wish it still went just a little bit louder?

Frank, I would assume your turntable needs a RIAA equalization to play the turntable (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIAA_equalization). In older equipment you would get "Phono IN" (RIAA) which basically is an internal "equalizer" that compensates for the loss of bass and attenuates highs. The input of this speaker is line level or aux level (An Aux level output is typically: unbalanced; a nominal level of -10dBV (0.1 volt); designed to feed an input with an impedance of 10,000 ohms or greater. As an example, an Aux output might feed a CD, DVD). A feed from an iphone or other mobile devices will suit the aux in level, by adjusting their volume. So what you need is a "pre-amplifier" that handles "phono" RIAA equalization and the output becomes line level to connect it to the speaker. I hope this is useful.

I would recommend using some sort of pre-amp between the turntable and the Kinter Amp. Most Phono pre-amps have a built in EQ curve to remove the pre-emphasis added during recording.( The RIAA EQ curve).there are several small phono pre-amps availible that would work well with this amp. A quick search here on amazon turned up one, the Pyle-Pro PP444 PYLE-PRO PP444 Ultra Compact Phono Turntable Preamp
