This normally causes that i have to put the second one's gain a bit lower ... Lately the normal one is reaching way too high levels which makes that even if i put the gain all the way down it stills has an overdrive, so i can't spin anymore or i'll blow my speakers and my ears, nor record anything ... please please somebody help me out asap, i'm going crazy ! __ It's a spiritual thing ! 11-02-2003 20:01 thechronic admin Registration Date: 01-11-2002 Posts: 5,293 Helpfulness rating:  Is it a modified SL1200?? Does it have RIAA-preamplification built in? I would open up the modified one and throw out the preamp, and just use the output from the needle into the phono input of your mixer. Be sure to connect the ground to the chassis of the turntable, otherwise you'll get serious hum. __ If you find spam on the site, please hit the button and select my name.

That's not possible actually, I would try changing the needle, and try using a different phono input of your mixer - most likely that the fault is in the mixer instead of in the Technics. __ If you find spam on the site, please hit the button and select my name.
