Better answers are probably on the VPI forum.
Grounding turntable to stop static pop.
After retirement, am again running vintage equipment just removed from extended time in storage: two ARC d115s, ARC sp10 and VPI Scout - cartridge is new Soundsign. After considerable break in all seemed well.
But now the problem is a static pop originating at the table that seems to throw off the amps - loud pops, plus the amp supplying the bass has a significant hum. The ground post on the pre is loose and may not be functioning correctly. Reason for the static pops? Can I ground the table without using the pre?
PLUS am now in lower Delaware, just minutes north of Ocean City. Had a good tech in DC, but he's two hours away. Anyone know of a good tech here in lower slower Delaware?
TIA for comments, suggestions or recommendations!
