Good evening...I recently bought a Garrard Type A turntable and cleaned it up according to advice I had found on here and by looking at the original service manual. Everything works fine and it appears that it still has the original Shure cartridge (M3D). Not sure about the stylus.
I hooked this up to the phono inputs on an old kenwood receiver (model KR-5600) and the sound was extremely low. I then tried the tape inputs with the same results. I have been told that I need a pre-amp or to buy a ceramic cartridge to work with this receiver.
What is the best solution? I really want to be able to play my LPs!
In addition, I balanced the tone arm according to the service manual but the stylus wants to skate across the record some times. Any advice? Is it possible that the cartridge is fine and the only thing I need to improve the sound quality is a new stylus?
Thanks for taking the time to offer a newbie some advice. I'm in plymouth ma if anyone can recommend a good repair shop nearby.
