Thanks - yeah, ground wire on both turntable and speakers and I’m using the cables that came with the turntable. I’ll try flipping the power supply plug and see if that helps.
Music Hall Classic humming issue
Just purchased a Music Hall Classic off this site. Hooked it up to Kanto YU6 speakers using the built in pre-amp and I’m getting a 60 cycle hum that, through process of elimination, I’ve determined is coming from the turntable. Checked/swapped out wires, checked outlets, ground wires are set…hum is still there as soon as I turn on the turntable.
Any ideas? Would going through an external pre-amp eliminate that?
Thanks!

@jea48 Thanks! I think you nailed it with the EMI from the power cord. Even moving the power cord to the lower outlet on the wall made a difference and then as I experimented moving the TT farther away from the speakers, the hum lowered. So I think I’ll need to run an extension cord to an outlet further away from the TT and hopefully that should do the trick! |
