Ground loop with Miyajima Premium mono


Hi to all,
this is the trouble:a annoying hum from speakers when
the Miyajima mono cartridge play.Aesthetix Rhea phono stage.
This resolved only desconnecting a channel from the cartridge
and selecting mono function from line pre.
Does someone know how this problem can be resolved?
Thank you in advance.

you can do the same thing with interconnects that a mono switch will do.

Mikelavigne, please explain. Do you mean by using a Y-interconnect or Y-connector? Otherwise, offhand, I don't see how.

Thanks.
Mike, thanks for the detailed response.

This hum is bad news to me. I have a Kansui, which I like alot, and I was very close to buying the Premium BE Mono but now I think I won't. My Steelhead II doesn't sum through the fixed outputs and my VAC Phi Beta preamp doesn't have a mono switch. I don't want to have to do the summing-splitter IC thing and I certainly don't want to risk hum. Oh well. Seems like the manufacturer could fix this somehow.
