@danmar123 I’ll check the headshell wire...thanks
@millercarbon Unfortunately everything is conected to the same outlet / 2 power strips
Turntable Hum
Any help appreciated!
Low pitched hum coming from TT input ...even when TT is not running . Hum is noticeable at about 1/4 volume & really bad at 50%
Manley Monoblock Snappers
VPI Scout w Hana MC cart right next to amp on table (moved TT away from amp to floor made 0 difference)
Allnic 1202 Phonostage grounded to VPI TT (on floor below JBL speakers & main speakers right to the left Tekton Encores)
Manley Jumbo Shrimp Preamp
Klark Teknik 32 band EQ
All cables (interconnects) recently replaced - Mogami
I tried ground lifting the TT motor - no change
unplugged tv & nearby laptop - no change
unplugged all lights nearby - no change
I suppose my next troubleshooting venture is to run a ground from phonostage to everywhere & start touching things? Phonostage seems to be the culprit....
😕
Thanks everyone!
@danmar123 I’ll check the headshell wire...thanks @millercarbon Unfortunately everything is conected to the same outlet / 2 power strips |
@noromance I did ground lift the TT motor & pulled everything in strips out 1 by 1 , no success
@millercarbon I'll try your suggestions, the only time the hum goes away is when the phonostage is out of the loop 🤷♂️ @femoore12 I did add a Marantz 2270 receiver recently but nothing inputted , just plugged in and I think I removed it to see , no change . @ei001h I moved TT to the floor , no change , I'll try the cable jiggling. thanks |
when I disconnect the Phonostage all humming goes away . unplugging TT from phonostage completely the higher buzzing is gone , but a low end hum remains....the high buzzing comes from the right side of TT
thoughts? @mr_m there is no power supply , just a cable into wall for motor |
@millercarbon tried different outlet on phonostage & preamp , no change ... could the power cables for any of my units be malfunctioning causing this? I could swap... @rauliruegas Turntable & phonostage are grounded
@aberyclark tried different RCAs from TT to Phonostage , no change... |
@millercarbon thanks..when I disconnected the RCAs from TT to Allnic & inputted 1 by 1 I noticed on the right input a slightly higher pitched buzzing , nothing major , just slight...electrical , emanating from speakers for sure..I'll try moveing the allnic to anotehr system & see if its noisy....Arent these Phonostages kinda inherently noisy because they are boosting the signal so much? @swanny76109 The Allnic 1202 Phonostage is almost brand new...I do notice when I tap on the cylindrcal tube cases I get a fair amount of feedback through the speakers ...noisy...thanks

@millercarbon really appreciate your time on this matter , the hunt continues...I'll post soon...
@audio-union and of course I will go down the rabbit hole of what cart works best with my set up 😃 was investigating the AT ART-9 , have heard alot of positives . I'll try a different power cord on Phonostage...thanks |
@audio-union I will check the power with my multi meter ...thanks
@cakyol no idea on tonearm grounding...it's a VPI Super Prime Scout w 10.5" tonearm....I know the headshell on Hana cart is grounded 🤷♂️ thanks |
@browndt thanks for the tip , I tried some high end Mogami's on the TT to Phono stage , didn't do anything ...🤷🏻♂️ |
@discnik the phono pre uses 3 prong power cord . Ive already tried plugging it separately in a completely different outlet & ground lifted it as well...no change . I should say that the hum happens slightly at about 1/4th volume & it is really noticeable at 50% up....thanks |
