It sounds to me that you may be tracking too light. Get a stylus wgt scale and check to see that you are tracking within the recommended guide lines for your cartridge. Also the anti-skate need to be accurate if there is one. Make sure also that if you are using the phono inputs, that you are indeed using the correct one for your cartridge (MM in MM input, MC in MC input, etc.)
Absolute newbie question ??
Ok, I am brand new to the whole analog, vinyl hobby. I am not sure if I ever will be but I wanted to own a record player, so I bought one since I own many records. I have never heard how a record should sound in analog reference system. My system is very good and it plays CDs beautifully. However, records sound like they are missing bass and most of the mids. Is this how they were recorded? Do I need a new needle? new turntable? new preamp?
BTW, what I bought was: Pioneer PL-1100 and Rotel RQ-970. I didn't want to spend a lot of money since I didn't know if I am going to stick with it.
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance,
