SL-BD22 SETUP i have a brand new technics SL-BD22D turntable..i tried to connect it to a stereo system but the sound was verrrrry low...solution? thank you..

If they are both Technics they should connect. There should a pair of connector holes on the back of the turntable, most likely a pair of 'Phono' jacks. Round connectors, one marked in red and the other marked in white. It may be marked as a "AUX OUT", "PHONO OUT" or "AUDIO OUT".
On the back of the System on the top section, (Marked as 'stereo sound processor''), there should be a matching pair of round connectors marked as "PHONO". Connect the turntable using a good quality phono cable matching the red to red and white to white. Personally I would recommend the gold plated type cable. They are usually reasonably cheap and easy to find.
You might have to change a setting on the system where you switch between radio and CD player to hear the turntable. It is often marked as 'AUX'.

As long as the Bose has a spare audio socket you can do it. You however will need a device called a "Magnetic Cartridge Preamp". Otherwise all you will hear is the sound at a very low level.

You can get a PDF of the manual from this site.
I'm just wondering if you have removed all the packing spaces? As quoted in it!

just get any small speaker wire and use that as your ground , attach that to the reciever you are using

Yes you need a pre amp

It would also be the same if you connected it to a computer to record an LP to CD. Mine is a little different and has one already built in that I can switch in and out of line.

Try spend a little more if you can as many pre amps can introduce noise.

You may also want to check that the turntable is properly grounded to prevent noise too

Your best option would be EBAY but double check with sellers as to the quality etc

presuming it has "some" effect, then gnd wire itself it good. Even though there may be a gnd thumbscrew on the preamp try slipping the ground wire under a screw on the main amp or receiver that screws into metal and make sure the gnd wire is touching metal under the screw.

if that didn't help, then you may have:
>a cartridge with an open gnd internally.
>an open gnd wire from the back of the cartridge to the outer shields of the RCA connectors.
>or your neutral & hot wires of your house wiring might be reversed causing something weird.
>a low quality preamp. (it should have a seperate wall adaptor so that only low voltage dc goes near the preamp)
good luck ground issues can be tough!

the prestige gold might be a little bit of overkill for this turntable meaning the turntable is middle of the road and the cartridge is hi-end.

To get a closer match for your TT try a yahoo search for "AT3482P-DE" (with the quotes) and the result will be the closest match to what this turntable is designed for. also you can find your TT's owner manual here
http://www.vinylengine.com/library/technics/sl-bd22d.shtml but you will have to register to download the free manual. in that manual you will find the shape of the drawings for the cartridge is the same. both made by audio technica
