What input do you have it plugged into on your amplifier? Record players
don't put out a normal aux signal, so it has to be hooked to your amp's
phono jack. If the amp doesn't have a phono jack, you'll need to get a
pre-amp. Get a decent pre-amp, because cheap ones (like I bought at Radio
Shack at first) are really noisy.
In honour of the discussion I went out and bought a quality needle and had
everything calibrated by an expert. It sounds really, really good now.
