| Phono stage hum - Rega Aria malmc02 The hum exists even with the cartridge not connected to the system ...That really doesn't matter. Have you tried a cartridge other than the Ortofon Cadenza Black? You need to rule out the cartridge as a source of the hum, and merely test... | |
| Phono stage hum - Rega Aria Is this problem new, or did the system work properly previously? Do you know for sure that the phono cartridge is good? Have you tried another phono cartridge in the system? | |
| Phono stage hum - Rega Aria A good place to start would be to temporarily use a cheater plug to determine if you have a ground loop. | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? I’ve been into R2R since that was the only option for serious home recorders. I still have my quarter-track Tandberg TD20A and half-track rebuilt Crown SX822. I use them mostly to listen to historic recordings, which should probably be digitized f... | |

| Power Conditioners ecrotty My power source is standard residential 110v ... the power is fairly stable with no brown/black out.Are you sure? If you're correct, your voltage is quite low and out of spec. Nominal voltage in the US is 120VAC ± 5 percent, so you sh... | |
| Power Conditioners Anyone who gives you a definitive answer to your question would be speculating. There are too many variables - including the nature of your existing AC power - for anyone to do anything else. Music Direct has a money-back return policy and they ar... | |

| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive billwojoOne thing I have found in common with all of the popular British TT is the constant need for upgrades.Actually, there is no "need" for an upgrade. Without the upgrade, your turntable will perform exactly the same as it always did. An upgra... | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? fusian ... I have never released a vinyl record (since my band in the 80s, anyways), so I don't even know if mastering plants have the capability to cut from an analogue tape. They have, and they do. | |
| power cord directionality danvignau ... transformers are DC to keep from blasting everything with a 60 cps hum ...Sorry, but you don’t know what you’re talking about. A transformer will not pass pure DC. A transformer can’t work with DC - its primary coil would have a stat... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? djones51When logic and science fail you what's left? Oh yeah, your system is junk and you're deaf.Ironically, that statement is a non-sequitur, a logical fallacy. | |
