Default Re: Sony TA-1010 noisy phono circuit

Ah, ok. Maybe that explains it then.
I initially plugged in a random 90's sony turntable, Which ive now sold.
I then plugged in an RCA to 3.5mm jack into a digital walkman . Just as a test.

I never realised this would do this and it was only compatible with a certain input type.

Glad I put the message on here now and did think it was weird the other inputs are perfect.

This amplifier is intended to be used with Moving Magnet (MM) cartridges.

If you are using an old fashioned Ceramic or Crystal cartridge, then it almost certainly would overload the phono inputs and cause distorted signal.

If you are using a modern Moving Coil (MC) cartridge, then it would not give good results into a MM phono input.
