Okay, I have two MK2s and a Stanton SMX-301 mixer that I just bought. I have RCA cables going from my my mixer into my sony mini system, everything seems to be working fine except I notice a significant loss of sound quality; worse than when I play a regular CD in my system. I was wondering if this is normal? I know records should have just as good sound quality as CDs, if not then better.

What carts are you using?

Is the stanton mixer used?

Could be the rca too...does it sound bad through the headphones? (the ones plugged into your mixer)

Ya I'm using the stanton smx-301 and i also have Stanton 500 AL needles. It doesn't sound very good on the headphones either.

Stanton AL500 carts don't have very good sound quality to begin with and if your stylii are worn you'll definitely hear a decrease in sound quality. The Stanton mixers don't help the sound quality either. Try saving up for some better carts.
