Another thought - my ART preamp has two switchable settings for different levels of cartridge output at 100pF and 200pF - does your ART PhonoPlus have similar funcionality - and is it set right for the output from your cartridge? Update: from a quick look at the PhonoPlus on the ART website it would...

If you have all your settings to the USB then it means that you are trying to get playback through the USB TT and I bet it has no speakers. You need to set your computer so the sound output is targetted on your onboard soundcard (I'm a Windows person so don't know the MAC magic for this). You probab...

I personally run an Edirol UA-1EX connected to my old Technichs SL-150 with SME arm and with an ART pre-amp (almost certainly the same pre-amp stage tha...

The full set of tutorials that this one is a part of ma...

I am a Windows elf - but I have no magic that I can cast on this ... :? On my XP systems (desktop and laptop) both have available the MME drivers and the Windows Direct Sound drivers - and like you, both work ok with Audacity. I have mine set to use the windows Direct Sound - IIRC I set then this wa...
