JL A-20 low sound issue
you gotta have a phono input on your receiver or a amplifier to amplify the signal. typical problem on many of todays receivers. gottra find an old skool one with phono input

I have the same problem. It used to sound fine, but now the sound is tinny and the stylus doesn't track very well.
Is this player any good?
I happened across one in my parents basement a while ago, I've been cleaning it up and I've found a belt for it, is it worth the time? Everything on it is stock, no replacements and it's just been sitting collecting dust for at least 20 years (probably more). Insight and comments appreciated, PM me if you have info.
