I removed the phono adaptor and found that the pins were all tarnished, almost black, so I will see if there is an improvement now they are a great deal cleaner.
I am surprised that any signal got through after looking at them at first.
I looked on Keith Snook's site and found a lot of very useful info on the 22 preamp. In fact he mentions to check the EF86 for quality, as that can reduce the bass. I will progress systematically and try it after each check.
