hello
I have a Cambridge amp and Kef C55 speakers, Rega Planar 2 turntable and I wanted to play vinyl again. I bought an Azur pre amp, but the volume is low; low frequency is lacking and it distorts at relatively low volume, and high volume is just not available. A Behringer pre amp gives the same result, as does my BD1/SME turntable. Any ideas?

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

Hi David.
If you are using an MM cartridge use the MM input on the pre-amp, not the MC input. If there is one input for turntable see if there is a switch to toggle between MC and MM.
Don't know your pre-amp but that is the most likely cause. If it isn't that then start a thread in the relevant section of the forum and more qualified people than me will assist further.

The cartridges are MM aka 'magnetic' I believe. Both were working fine with my Cyrus 1 amp (since blown) when last used for vinyl. One is a Goldring mid price, the other came with the Rega turntable and has C77 on the side and is red. Neither pre amp has an MC option. The Behringer is brand new, the Azur 2nd hand via e bay.
