Buzzing source


Just got a new mmf-5 turntable. It is being run through a Parasound phono pre to a Audio Refinement int. amp. The table's ground is connected to the ground connector on the back of the Parasound. when I remove the ground wire, the buzzing gets much louder. All grounded plugs in the system are fitted with "cheater" plugs, then plugged into a power strip which is grounded at the wall outlet. Other than trial and error, does anyone know if there is a main culprit in these grounding problems? Should I be trying to ground the table somewhere else? The buzzing is only occurring when the phono input is selected.

Is there a cable box nearby? You may be getting a groud loop issue in there somewhere.
BLR may be right lamp with short or dimmer switch could definitely do this. Check the things plugged in on the same circuit and then start removing things one at a time. See if you hear the diff.
