Gosh, this is an old therad, but since it popped up, what the hell! If I recall correctly, the BSR Quanta is direct drive. I'll betcha ten bucks that that big ol' motor under the platter made that Grado hum like AC-powered Regas, ARs, and some VPIs like to do...I wonder if bcretty ever got it fixed?
BSR quanta 400 troubles
I recently tried to use my fathers BSR quanta 400 turntable but i'm having trouble getting rid of the hum. It's definately a ground problem. I'm currently using a cheap grado cartridge that i got for about $40 several year ago. I'm also missing the original rubber record mat. Any suggestions to how to fix the hum and where I can find a replacement mat new or used? The turntable looks great and seems to be working aside from the hum. Also, where might I find mmore info on decent cartridges for it. I would love to get the 400 up and running.
Please help.
