I have sent my RA 180 back to the dealer for warranty claim, problem with the phono amp in it. It sounds like the correction doesnt work at all. I need to use the eq and tone control to get any normal sound as possible, it sound thin and no bass what so ever. It also is a high pink noise without music signal. I have also tested another turntable pickup and got humming in the right channel. All noise dissapere when i disconnect the 150b streamer, but still very poor sound ( and yes i have tried both MM and MC) everything is properly grounded. I tested an external phono amp i have (extremly cheap one) line in and that sound great, no noise whatsoever and good treble and bass. I really do hope there is something wrong with the phono preamp, otherwise this is the worst pre amp i ever heard. And also is the sound drop out from TV solved in the 150b?
Best regards Sven-Åke
