Nasty Static on Vinyl
@tooblue These are brand new albums that are doing it on. And the Amp is muted or even on another source. I put my ear to the album and hear no pop but its coming through the speakers like crazy.

@elizabeth Yes my mistake it's a Wireworld Starlight 7 Digital 110 Ohm cable. So not good for balanced inputs on an amp right?For AES EBU usage? 
Nasty Static on Vinyl
@elizabeth That thought did cross my mind. I recently changed my cart to a HanaSL and the blue cartridge wire connector fell off. I was able to insert it into the connector and work it onto the cartridge but I'm going to check and make sure that i...

Lovan rack on brick fireplace hearth. Gonna go through the grounding tonight. I initially had problems with pop when stylus hit the needle even when amp is muted . Now it's escalated to static pops and clicks as vinyl plays even when amp is muted!... 
Which power cords help ameliorate digital glare/grain/digititus?
I have found that power cords can help with noise and EMI I found the biggest improvement in my digital library was my DAC. I have a Krell Digital Vanguard and initially I thought cool an internal DAC great until I got an external RME-ADI-2 DAC ru... 
Proper Ground for Tonearm and Turntable

Proper Ground for Tonearm and Turntable
@three.. so presently not using the plinth ground at all. Just the TA1000 tonearm cable ground to the phonostage. Very weird because even with everything muted or even a different input selected on the amp I still hear a pop. Could it be static? 
Replacement for Vandersteen 2ce
@bigkidz Since I started driving them with the Krell 200 watts per channel they sound much better. Yes I will speak to JohnnyR and see what he thinks. Maybe some new shorter cables will help. My old 15ft TaraLabs RSC Primes are probably hindering....

Replacement for Vandersteen 2ce
@mr_m The CE’s were purchased in 92-93 new from Ocean State Audio boxed for quite a few years and recently brought out. Did not like the old parasound HCA 1200 amp that powered them but my Krell has improved them significantly. Room is 16” wide x ...
