I'm surprised there was any debate whether the Behringer PP400 phono preamp has RIAA equalization. Is it easier to argue than it is to look it up?

1. The PP400 equalizes a turntable signal according to RIAA specifications.
2. The PP400 amplifies the RIAA equalized signal.
3. The PP400 outputs a line-level signal.

It may be inexpensive, and it may or may not be good performer, but there should be no arguing about what is clearly said in the manual.

Thanks, I was looking for that manual when I replied, but apparently missed it on Behringer's web site.

My next project is to build a sub cabinet for my 18" woofer and amp Strassacker: Speaker Building, Components and that will be very very soon.

Sorry I see that when the link is clicked it doesn't take you to the page right away. It's the monacor SPH 450 woofer and amp is the Detonation DT300.

Sorry I haven't responded in a few days. No one scared me off. I am about 10 days away from moving into the first house I have ever owned, so I am quite busy getting everything organized with that. I value everyone's opinion, and even if TLSguy thinks I have terrible quality gear, he still brings up a good point that is worth looking into. The turntables and cartridge are my girlfriend's stuff. She used to run a production company that threw raves which explains why its scratch DJ stuff and not necessarily good quality home listening stuff. But what can you do, it was free. Once I move in to my new house I will give it the proper time and attention it needs to fix the sound issue. I can't really buy anything right now as I have spent a small fortune on this house. My next project is to build a sub cabinet for my 18" woofer and amp Strassacker: Speaker Building, Components and that will be very very soon.

I understood you had just bought that cartridge, No? If it has been used in a scratch environment, it may well be damaged.
