I need help to setup my 610LP to work with Lyra Kleos WITHOUT making any hissing and humming noise. I have the arm and bearings grounded but still hear noice. What am I missing? Any help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
60Hz hum is usually improper grounding or due to a ground loop. Not easy to solve. Make sure that the cartridge leads are snug. Tonearm has ground continuity all the way to the ground post. You may even try disconnecting the ground cable entirely as a test.
There may be another component in the system that is causing a ground loop. Cable box is a very common culprit. Light dimmers. And just about everything else.
Hissing is input noise from the OP amplifier. In your case I believe it's a National part, LM4562. It's very low noise, but some hiss will be audible if the preamplifier's volume is turned up and no record is playing. There are quieter designs using discrete jfet inputs.
