Hey Turntable Heads,

I just recently "upgraded" from a Sony belt-drive turntable to a Stanton T-60 direct drive Turntable. Now that it is hooked up to my entertainment system, the sound quality is much softer, and tinnier than that of the Sony. I'm sure I connected something incorrectly. Let me know, because I'm pretty sure this turntable is better than the one that I had.

Any tips?

Did I connect the cartridge wrong? The User-friendly Sony did not require this.

Do I automatically need to ground the thing? This shouldn't drastically affect volume, right?

Is it something that has to do with connecting a Stanton "mix/scratch" turntable to a conventional Sony Receiver?

Maybe it is not better than the one that I had, despite every lp collector I know telling me I need a direct drive. Hell, the sony turntable's arm even automatically reset itself when it finished the side of a record. The stanton doesn't do that.
