I assume that the tape in and out connectors of my preamp are the correct connection. Am I wromg?

yes, but make sure that the input selector on the tascam is set digital or analogue. Check your manual, there are a few choices.

Check that all wires are fully connected. Other wise it would probably be something internal in which case yeah I would return it. Other thing would be speakers but if you only noticed it with the new amp then there's your issue.

Yes it should be. I believe your player has phono/red & white rca cable coming from the back. These will plug in just fine. The amplifier has a built-in equalizer so There's no need for a preamp as someone may have stated.

There is an RIAA EQ built into every phono preamp. If you plug a phono preamp into a phono preamp, the result will be bad sound.

Evelyn, It depends on what kind of output your amplifier has, and what kind of input your speaker has. These connections are XLR, which are NOT usual for most amp/speaker connections. I suggest you have a neighbor look at your amp/speaker arrangement before you buy. It will be an easy determination for someone with even modest experience. John McNeill. Springfield, South Dakota

Well first check you input gain but on mine the meter suddenly maxed out then dropped to nothing and hasn't worked since. That was on the first day of use. However, everything else works as it should (if a little noisy, it's not the quietest pre-amp). Since my interface has either all phantom power on or off I use the preamp for using both condenser and dynamic mics together. I don't think pinned in the red is normal.

Serge, are you sure you are connecting the stereo side of your cable to a stereo system or instrument? If it is connected to a monaural device, the red lead may be short-circuited and your amp may be at risk!

Make sure everything is plugged in right. If using a turntable you need a pre-amp. Not to insult. Did you install the software?

1) is your machine turned on?2) is the volume on the machine turned up?3) is your signal flow correct? (out of machine to in on amp)4) are you using a mono or stereo 1/4"? if so what output did you use?

I would say your tapes are bad or your player has a problem. It's only an adapter.

I have mine between my separate preamp and amp. Not knowing your equipment, I would suggest putting it on a tape monitor if you have one. Otherwise, I would put it between the CD player and the receiver. You just need RCA cables. It'll take 1/4" unbalanced cables too. Let me know if you need more help or more about what it ACTUALLY does.

If your receiver is old enough, there may be a "tape monitor" switch on the front panel. Connect the record out to the eq inputs & the eq out to the tape inputs. With the tape monitor switch in the on position, it sends the preamp out to the eq & the eq out to the power amp section of the receiver.

Not directly. My record player, tape deck, cd player all are connected to my tuner/pre-amp. The speakers are connected to the pre-amp for them to work.

My research indicated that you do need a preamp, so I bought one and everything works fine, but I'm no expert! You would need some sort of cable converter at least but I think you do need the preamp.

The correct order would be turntable--&gt;preamp---&gt;DTI. Be sure to eliminate hum from phono cartridge wires running too close to TT motor. Also be sure to plug TT and preamp into the same outlet/power strip. Use quality RCA shielded cables and not some old RCA unshielded cables used for some cheap speakers.

First of all, make sure that the RCA/Jack adapter is the most adequate for the impedance coupling. I don't know the type of Luxman pre-amp that you use, so I am guessing that the input corresponds mostly to a Jack (Phone) plug. For instance, some inputs correspond to MIC, then their impedance is low and a mixer is required to achieve a decent audio output. Otherwise, there should not be any problem or audio issue I could know.
