The left channel had hum and the hum followed the cable to the right channel when I switched sides. Pro-ject indicated that the issue is common when their cable is used on any other phono preamp than theirs. My dealer’s tech called Pro-ject USA and was immediately told the issue is using the cable on a different brand phono preamp than theirs. Go figure. This is a first for me.
Pro-ject X1B Balanced Cable Problem
I recently purchased a Pro-ject X1B turntable to use with my Schiit Skoll phono preamp. After having grounding issues I emailed Schiit support and learned that the Pro-ject supplied cable has issues with third party phono preamps according to Pro-ject USA. Has anyone used a cable that you could recommend? The cable is a 5-pin din to dual XLRs. The main reason I bought the table was for the balanced feature.
Thanks in advance for any help.
