So I've been in the market for a new Phono Pre Amp and I saw some great reviews of the Little Bear RIAA Preamp and decided to pull the trigger along with buying new bulbs . When I got it all setup properly I turned it on and put on a record and it sounds completely muffled and not that loud. I unplugged everything and even made sure it was grounded, but I still couldn't fix it.
Are there any recommendations on what I should do?
Here's my setup -
Table: Pro-Ject Audio Debut Carbon DC Esprit SB
Cartridge: 2M Red
Pre Amp: Little Bear RIAA T7
Receiver: Yamaha R-S202BL
Speakers: Klipsch RP-280F
So if you’re doing a tube hybrid amp and then a phono preamp, why not just get a regular amp and then a tube preamp?

I use one of these with the recommended tube upgrade. The cool thing is it can switch between a phono and just a regular preamp. I currently have a chromecast audio feeding into it and it adds a fun “smooth” distortion.

Still less combined than the project phono and then you can save money on a different amp or better speakers
