Ground loop with Miyajima Premium mono

Whoops!!!! I was wrong indeed. I looked on the Miyajima website, where it says, "When it played a stereo LP with this cartridge, a sound is that a distortion and a needle do not work lengthwise, and there is the thing that a needle injures the ditch of the LP." I could not have said it better myself. Thanks for your insight, Salectric.

Here's a question: Is there any difference at all between the "BE" version and the plain Premium version, other than the species of the wood that is used? Miyajima website says nothing to indicate any other difference. A US vendor says there are indeed some internal differences between the two models, to justify the $250 price differential. Thanks.

Hi to all,
I have resolved the question with a Lyra Helikon Mono
cartridge.No hum. I think the problem is the Rhea,
on masses configuration.The doubled coils allow to function
without troubles respect a single coil.Also in agreement with what was said in the Lyra website.

Great thread. I have same cartridge and this is helpful.
