How do I connect a Rega Planar 2 to Cyrus amp?

Hi,

Complete novice but I have a Rega Planar 2 and partner has Cyrus kit - is there a way to connect them up better as currently the turntable sounds quiet unless you blast the volume??!

 

It looks like your Cyrus amp doesn't have a phono stage built in. You therefore need to buy an external one. These can be had from a few pounds up to silly money. Probably the sweet spot for best value is Cambridge Audio.

I'm assuming you have a moving magnet cartridge in the Rega.

Further to the above, if your Cyrus amp does have a phono stage, might you have a low output moving coil cartridge in your Rega? That would account for weak output.

Thanks so much for the replies, really appreciate. Will look into this

 

If you let us know which Cyrus amp and what the cartridge is in the Rega, I should be better able to advise.
