Sounds like the problem is that you've got the TT hooked up to an
"auxillary" input instead of a "phono" input. Turntables require
preamplification in order to have the right level of signal output. If
your receiver (which is what I assume you are using if you've got a home
stereo) doesn't have the "phono" selection then you must either find one
that does or purchase a preamplifier. Also -- it could also be due to
break in the RCA cables or something but it sounds like its a preamp prob.
