Hum Problem with Grado
I recently helped my friend set up his VPI Aries Extended. He is temporarily using an inexpensive Grado ($80 Red?) cartridge but we are hearing significant hum. We grounded the table, which helped, but the hum is still very noticable. Anyone have experience with hum using a Grado and how can we solve this problem? Rest of the system is AR SP16 and VS110 w/ Proac Response 3s. Thanks.

I tried that too, connecting ground wire to motor (bearing too). Didn't do a damn thing... In this case, the problem is magnetic, and you have to deal with it very differently. Nice rule of thumb: If you hear "buzz", it is electric field coupling, add a ground wire. If "hum", then magnetic field coupling, add distance. |
I have NO hum with Grado XTZ on all my turntables (i have 7 of them). You’re better search what atmasphere posted in another thread, the problem is your turntable. |
