Thanks Derek. I'm still having very intermittent problems. I have ignored it for now as I have been busy with other things but this sounds like it may be the fix.

If your amp does not have a Phono input with built in RIAA pre-amp then you will need a stand alone pre-amp between the deck and your amplifier. Be aware that the MMC4 cartridge outputs around half
