I picked up an old Panasonic multiple play turntable. I have it plugged into a Sony receiver with a phono input. It plays fine, but its like the volume is hot. You barely turn up the volume knob and it's really loud and a little distorted. Anyone have any idea what the deal might be. As best I can tell the turntable had the original cartridge and diamond stylus. I replaced the stylus but the volume did the same thing with the new one. I would appreciate any thoughts. I'm rather new at this.

Also, I am considering buying a Dual 1258 fully automatic/multiple play turntable in mint condition with an Ortifon cardridge. The people are asking about $80 for it. Anyone know any history on that unit? Is that a good price? Any pitfalls I should watch out for.

Thanks,
Josh
