Default Re: Dansette Major capacitor

The issue is that your player was designed to work with an (orange bodied) BSR TC8H Mono cartridge. You can (still) buy a replacement for £35-00 - but do remember this will not be suitable for playing Stereo records and most of your LPs will be Stereo. What type of cartridge have you bought as no cartridge that I know of can give as much as 2-3 volts output, except on occasional highly modulated peaks? Your assumption of why it may sound "loud" on a much higher gain amplifier is quite correct.
