Grounding turntable to stop static pop.
Thank all for the replies. Gives me much to consider and try. Checked the pre and the ground post is definitely loose.  Have some anti static spray from Radio Shack sound here somewhere. Will try and reset the amp tubes - will this affect the bias...

What's up with Joida stuffs from Hongkong?
Ake,I live about 20 minutes from Jolida's HQ and own a JD100. I love it - worth every penny! But I bought it via the net from a dealer in CA for a lot less than they wanted at Jolida! I asked them at Jolida HQ about the asian amps and they told me...
