Hi, all. Just hooked up my Audio Technica LP120 turntable to my Port via Line In. Throws the music to my Sonos One nicely. Sounds great. I have the Port’s analog line out RL going into a Sony A/V receiver which is the same line that the turntable was originally using before I set up the Port. I’m not happy now with how the turntable music sounds through the A/V receiver via the Port compared to when the turntable was connected directly to the receiver. Very bass-heavy and less clear. I realize it’s probably now a balancing act between the loudness-bass-treble settings of the Port combined with those same available settings on the reciever. Anyone have optimal settings suggestions for the analog line out of the Port to an A/V receiver? Thanks.

The Phono input on your receiver is not appropriate for anything other than a direct turntable connection. You should use any other analog input on the receiver.
