Hi, I really like this receiver, it's cool and I found it from a thrift shop really cheap! $21. Although I am also having issues with sound and I hope it's not the receiver because I want to use this with a turntable I also picked up cheap recently (and need to fix still). I also have these Jensen HiFi stereo speakers someone gave me, and notably for the moment I only hooked one up with the ground wires just to see if it worked. It does, there's a lot of radio static for some reason though.
Now I'm not sure what the issue is but it seems the audio is really quiet. Not much bass too. I crank it up to the maximum and it's still really quiet. Wish I could show the speakers too the wood frame on both is a little worn but other than that doesn't seem like internals are the issue won't rule it out though. I just want to know, am I doing something wrong? Is the issue, maybe, that I only have just the one set up and it's a non issue? Or something else entirely? I just wanted to post here now cause I am a little confused and overwhelmed at the moment to continue, it's my first time trying to set up a stereo system.
