Very frustrating.
Turntable is an Audio Technica (T-LP120XUSB) and it has a phono pre-amp which I switched to line output. Plugging this into a 100W per channel receiver (Yamaha RS-201), using a Grado Black cartridge.
The former Grado had a much richer/higher level of sound output and I listened to music with the dial around 40. With this new Grado cartridge (5 mw, I think) I have to turn the volume up to 80 and it still sounds tinny/hollow. The supplied Audio Technica cartridge also had the same issue.
With the needle pointing up I've wired it as follows:
Top Left - Green
Top Right - Blue
Bottom Left - Red
Bottom Right - White
