JediTray, some things that come to mind (which you already may have thought of/taken care of), but just in case:

Are you using a MM or MC cartridge? Some phono preamps don't have enough output for an MC cartridge and you'll get A LOT of noise.


 Well, I used what DAK provided, which was a GliPro elliptical diamond stylus with magnetic cartridge.

Here's a link that shows detailed closeup pics:

Wow that's a lot of info! The 78rpm converter feature is nice....
The magnetic cartridge should be fine (Audio Technica?), so that's probably not the problem. If it's happening with all your records (even the ones in good condition), then something is definitely amiss with the equipment. If you could post some audio clips that would be very helpful, to see if we hear the same thing you're hearing. Like you said- LPs can only be so quiet, maybe you've become unaccustomed to the inherent noise.
