tabakovaanna Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Hi everyone, I am a fair newbie to vinyl, and i got my own turntable a year ago. I already have a decent collection both inherited from my parents and bought by me buy there is the only trouble-my turntable doesnt seem to be loud enough. when i turn on full volume on my pre amp it is a very comfy volume level if you are in the same room(not too loud) but I can baaaaaaarely here the melody standing in another room. If someone could give me a hint how i could solve that i will be sooooo grateful, i feel there should be a solution. I know i have a super basic set up but at this point i am ready to invest in better speakers/amp if it will solve the issue My set up is Turntable- Audio Technica at-lp60 pre amp Lepai LP-2020A Speakers Micca MB42 BOOKSHELF SPEAKERS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Uh, you need a receiver between your preamp and speakers. This can't be a real post, right? FlippingOut and KingTacoMunster 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas³ Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 The Lepai LP-2020A is a cheap calls T amp, so it might not have enough power to drive your speakers. If your turntable set for phono or line out? If phono, it's bypassing the preamp (not sure if that's possible on the atpl60 or not) so the signal is not being amplified enough.

Tardcore Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Does the LP60 have a defeat able onboard preamp? If so, make sure it's engaged. Otherwise, as others have said, your T amp may not be up to the task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenh Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) Yes the AT-60 is able to defeat the phono amp so I expect this is probably where the problem is Look for a switch on the back that says phono/line and make sure it's set to line (make sure the volume is down when you do it) Edited August 3, 2016 by allenh back not book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
