I recently got a Victrola Vsc-550bt turntable that I want to connect to my receiver/speakers. The turntable doesn't have a preamp built in so I bought a Rolls phono preamp that I've connected to the turntable and the receiver. When I play music through the receiver/speakers it sounds very distorted with a lot of static mostly coming through the treble.
The turntable has built in speakers and the record sounds fine when played from that. The preamp has a ground which I attempted to ground to the receiver but there was no change in the sound. I've bought new cables to test with and still no difference in the sound. From testing it seems like the problem is coming from the preamp. Are there any other things I've missed to troubleshoot? Have I set the system up correctly?
Thanks for any assistance.
