What causes microphonics in a tonearm?


Several tonearms i'm considering have been accused of being susceptible for microphonics. The tonearms in question are the Pro-Ject(Oracle Paris-RPM 10.1)Rega(P9) and Rega based(OL) tonearms. Is the poor quality stock tonearm cable responsible or is this a design flaw? As always I appreciate your comments.

"or better yet, move the tt to another room and I think you will see microphonics disappear."

Try another location in the same room. One more reason your electronics should not be between the speakers. 2/3 of the way down the side wall from the speakers should do it.
