It's more of a buzzing sound at high volume. I ran a ground from the bottom of the tonearm (threaded part) to the preamp and it helped somewhat but it is still there. If I disconnect the phono cables from the preamp inputs the bzzzing stops completely with only a very minor hissing sound at high volume. Thank you.
Buzzing Sound In Speakers
I have a Rega RB 300 tonearm which has been upgraded with RB 1000 wiring (supposedly). It was done by a local dealer a couple of years ago. Last year I sent it to Rega in Texas to be checked out by them. They said a ground wire was not installed properly.
It is mounted on a new Michell Gyro SE. I have an Arcam C31 preamp with P1 mono blocks.
When the pre is set to phono, I get a loud buzzing sound in the speakers when at higher volumes. This is without the record playing. When I touch a certain one of the cables that runs to the preamp from the TT the buzzing gets significantly lower but is still there. Whenever I touch the preamp or TT itself the buzzing lessons somewhat. When the C31 is switched to CD, the buzzing stops...totally.
Could it be that the phono stage in the Arcam is of poor quality and not shielded properly? Wonder if any other Arcam people have had this problem. Thanks so much to all.
