If you don’t have a grounding wire, do something to make one. You should have a ground between the receiver and the turntable. Sorry, I’m a bit sporadic. I’m driving at the moment hehe.

Something like that. It’s probably overkill. But I like the fact that it has solid state versus switches which can get dirty and noisy.
2/2 update ….The Denon has the ability to turn off the equalizer. It’s in the instruction manual, but I don’t know where the SWITCH is as I don’t have physical access to a turntable like that. You might have to remove the platter and poke around a lot to find it. But in any case, that seems to be the issue, as by default, it is turned on.
1/2 update - Look in the manual for the Denon, there is an equalizer switch that you need to turn off, and then you can use it with the phone input on your Mac 1700. I had a look at the schematic, you would have to modify the Mac by removing two resistors. I don’t recommend that actually.
The 1700 has an old style phono input so I don’t think it’ll work with the Denon preamp in line. I suppose you could modify the 1700, but don’t you have another input besides aux? Perhaps tape? I will look at the schematic tonight. Newer , integrated amps and preamps just have line inputs, so it isn’t really a problem these days. Worst case scenario you could use a line switch.
Try plugging your Denon directly into AUX because it apparently does have a built in preamp according to Denon product page. -
