| Help me Identify Electrical Noise/Distortion in my System Between the lead connector inside the heat shrink and either the center RCA pin or the sleeve depending on the signal cable. | |
| Help me Identify Electrical Noise/Distortion in my System I tested the continuity of the tonearms leads with my multimeter. White, blue, and green leads fluctuated between 0.5 and 0.6 ohms. The red lead fluctuated between 0.5 and 1.0 ohms. It would eventually settle on 0.5 but had a tendency to shift aro... | |
| Help me Identify Electrical Noise/Distortion in my System I do think I have two issues that the DHL cable may be highlighting. I think the RCA to cable connection is definitely problematic. Bending the cable results in the signal dropping out completely. But I also agree that there is another issue upstr... | |
| Help me Identify Electrical Noise/Distortion in my System I swapped only at the phono pre end. So right output from TT went to left input phono pre and the buzz and woofer pumping swapped channels with the cable. | |
| Help me Identify Electrical Noise/Distortion in my System Welp - tried with a new phono cable and the right channel fuzz is still present. Back to square 1. Realigned my cartridge from start to finish and I’m still experiencing a slight amount of “fuzz” in the right channel on some records. I would say i... | |
| Help me Identify Electrical Noise/Distortion in my System After speaking to DH labs, they will repair the cable under warranty. Going to try my setup with another cable later tonight and will report back. I'm still really interested in what actually causes the woofer pumping and noise associated with a ... | |
| Help me Identify Electrical Noise/Distortion in my System So I definitely have something going on with my DH Labs phono cable. Amp on, cartridge up - when I move the cable near the phonostage RCA jack my right woofer pumps and an audible scratching noise is evident. Swapped the right and left cables and ... | |
| Help me Identify Electrical Noise/Distortion in my System Its not something that I knew was even possible, how does the phenomenon work? | |
| Help me Identify Electrical Noise/Distortion in my System I plan on inspecting the cable connection and swapping the cable from right to left channels to see if the issued follows - but the connection wouldn't cause the mistracking I encountered. That is due to another issue. | |
| Help me Identify Electrical Noise/Distortion in my System I have a Neoteck digital scale that measures to .01g. I have the tracking weight at 2.6g which is the high end for the cartridge. Ortofon manual states to set VTA between 2.4-2.6g. I've also messed with antiskate values from the maximum to the min... | |
| Help me Identify Electrical Noise/Distortion in my System Volume control is at the integrated Simaudio for my analog and digital sources. I do have a home theater processor connected to the HTB input on the Simaudio but I doubt that's related. | |
| Phasemation Cartridge Compliance or Alignment Issue? WAF of new cartridge is much higher than a new turntable, I need to go that route for now. | |
| Phasemation Cartridge Compliance or Alignment Issue? Thanks for the ideas everyone. I am experiencing a few different types of distortion. In the outer grooves of some records, I've noticed some midrange tones struggling to hold their pitch. For example a guitar string pluck wavering back and forth... | |
| Phasemation Cartridge Compliance or Alignment Issue? Troubleshooting this a bit more. I realigned the cartridge and the same behavior is occurring with the woofers. My last thing that I could try was to swap my phono preamp out. I mentioned before that I purchased a Sutherland Mini Loco Mkii at the ... | |
| Phasemation Cartridge Compliance or Alignment Issue? Some photos of the cartridge - it looks like the cantilever isn't mounted plumb to the head shell. If this is the case, it makes it very hard to align with my protractor. Is it possible that a misalignment could compound the resonance issue I may ... |
