I had the SAME problem, I had 3 turntables hook up to
a pre-amp (NOT at the same time of coarse), and I kept getting the feedback noise that you have now.
There are 2 RULES, that I learned when I solved this problem.
1. DON`T have your TT. close to your speakers!
It should also be isolated in a rack, on it`s own
shelf, AWAY from any speakers.
2. Your TT. cables that go in to your pre-amp
CAN`T be touching each other! And NO other cables from
ANY other unit in your system can touch them either!
Just by doing these 2 things I got rid of the
feedback. Make sure nothing is touching those
Turntable cords back there, and you should be fine!
