I've assembled an analog system using some good vintage gear. Marantz 2275, Pioneer RT-707 reel to reel, NAD 512, JBL L100s and A/D/S L810s and an AR Turntable. A former roomate, 20 years ago, installed a Dynavector Karat 15 moving coil cartridge. When I hooked it up to the 2275, the volume is very low. I can turn it all the way up. The tape, tuner and CD crank, but not the turntable.

I have to assume the pre-amp in the reciever doesn't have a moving coil circuit.

A phono pre-amp seems to make sense, but, with limited inputs, and a CD in the AUX, can I run a phono pre into the phono jacks? How about the Tape 2 in? How will the signal be affected by this input? I could just get a new cartridge, but i really have liked the Dynavector in the past.

What is the best and most reasonable fix for this?

Any ideas? Thanks!
