Along those lines, Since the early 70s, I’ve always used the same kind of RCA interconnects I use between a tape deck and tuner to the line inputs on the connections between a turntable and phono input on my integrated amps, or, in this case the input on the phono preamp. Now I read that I should use a low capacitance audio cable. Any advice?
I have only come here seeking knowledge...
Hi. Just joined
Audiogon. In my first search here I didn’t
find anything close to what I was looking for.
Background:
I gave up on vinyl when I bought my first CD player back in 1985. In early 2017, I got the vinyl bug again and bought an Audio Technica AT-LP5 based on my research, (the price didn’t hurt either). Overall, I’ve been satisfied with it, however, in the last 7-10 days, I’m hearing a pretty loud hum between tracks. When the new track starts, It either disappears or is masked by the music. Sound is as good as before this hum started.
My Rig:
Tuner- NAD C 427 (2016)
CD Player- Denon DCD-600NE (2019)
Turntable- Audio Technica AT-LP5 with VM520EB/H cartridge (2017)
Phono Stage- Alpha Design Labs GT40a (2017)
Homebuilt Windows PC with Creative Labs Sound Card, and Exact Audio Copy,
Audacity software. (2014)
Integrated amp- Cambridge Audio CXA60 (2016?)
Speakers- Wharfedale Diamond 240 (2016?) and Wharfedale Diamond 225 on the way for Winter in South Texas. Tried Monitor Audio Bronze 2s (arrived damaged,) and Q Acoustics Concept 20s (one speaker was defective.)
Insight Quest:
Being both retied, the wife raises her eyebrows whenever I bring up the subject of electronics. The newest piece I have is the CD player.
I’m putting money away for a new turntable. Based on what I’ve seen so far, I got it down to two. I’m thinking of either the Pro-Ject X1, or the Audio Technica AT-lp7. I’d really appreciate any help and/or ideas. Thanks!
