I'm using the IIx with a Grado Prestige Red right now and while it's not as quiet as my other cart, it's certainly acceptable. I would have to turn up my McIntosh gear to ear splitting levels before the hum becomes a nuisance. Anyway, I really like my Systemdek, and I think the Grado works well with it.
Need Help Systemdek and Grado Cart..Possible?
So I just bought a Systemdek IIX which has an unshielded AC motor. I want to use an unshielded Grado Reference Platinum cartridge with it. Does anyone have experience with taming the RFI from the motor?
I have never used Mu-Metal but I wonder if that will work...if so, how does one use it to shield a motor?
Or..
ERS cloth / ErsaMat... would using a sheet of ERS or an ErsaMat on the platter provide enough shielding to eliminate hum in my Grado cart?
Would anyone please share their experiences?
