Louder yes, but that actually makes it sound worse most of the time. At least when there’s static from the radio. Record didn’t sound great either. Too much bass.
The Bluetooth Transmitter has a volume control on it, so does it have some kind of amp? If so, it’s double ampped.
And if it isn’t PHONO output, well it still works with a PHONO amp. Too lazy and cheap to buy the line amp. I think the antenna on this thing sucks for the radio. Time to switch back to record to see if it really sounds horrible. Not great, but maybe not as bad as radio.
The problem might be Bluetooth Transmitter, adjusting volume doesn’t work right, have to reboot the thing.
Set volume to 10, instead of the max on Bluetooth Transmitter, reboot it, and the radio won’t sound as bad, but still bad. Might need to go down to 5. Probably have to reboot it, cause of what it’s connecting to, my computer, acting as a dumb speaker.
Five too low, eight might be fine though. Too bad I can’t adjust the bass. Should have got an amp with controls, not all automatic. No hum on mine.
I could plug this amp into my other radio and see what it does. If it sounds bad, then it’s probably not using PHONO output on either. But I don’t want to unplug my desktop from my soundbase, just to borrow the cable.
LOL, I should have searched for bass before. It’s not for cheapo junk turntables. And not for the radio either.
I should unplug it, but I’m lazy. Is the Orbit turntable magnetic?
Sounds better now, unplugged the amp. Maybe a line amp would work. Probably not worth it.
That reply said to buy a name brand, why? I’m not an audiophile. I doubt I could tell the difference. Must have moved antenna to a better spot, less static and crap. Now might sound pretty much the same as my software radio, nice.
