All you need to do is look at the cartridge and find the make and model number of it. Put that into google search and the information on the stylus should come up.

No you don't!

Just enter the model number of the Sherwood into Google. Or you can enter the cartridge number that will be even quicker.

many decks have pre amps or need preamps. hence the reason why you have distorted sound i would guess. you need the opposite of what you used. What record deck did you try?

try putting an amp between the 2

The problem is the fact that the new receiver has no phono input. The phono input has an extra stage of amplification built in. Your receiver is working fine. You need to purchase a phono pre-amp. These run around $20. Connect the turntable to the preamp and the presmp output to any line level input on your new receiver and everything will work as expected.

I had a similar problem and found that manually moving the arm back and forth along the tube several times "loosened up the mechanics. They get stiff after sitting a long time. B e sure to protect the needle!

You need a phono stage (phono amp) between the turntable and receiver to boost the lower signal from the turntable. If your receiver has phono inputs, use those as there will be a built-in phono stage.
