So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2
It’s static. I converted back to balanced operation and wet cleaned a few LP’s. Problem gone. I have an Ionizing fan on order and we’ll see how that works.

@signaforce You asked if there were any other recommendations. Yes, it looks like you are running everything through your AVR. I was too. I was running a Yamaha Aventage 3050. The 3050 was preamp output to a pair of monstrous Aragon dual mono a...

Yeah, a jump from the 2M bronze to an ML is a big jump. I went from the 2M Red (when I got back into Vinyl in 2016) to the Bronze. I didn’t like it much at all- the only thing that kept me in the Ortofon family was buying the Black Stylus to use o...

@ejb14 The cable set is not a coaxial design. The cables are the same in both RCA and XLR configurations. The cable itself is a star quad core with double bare copper shielding. With RCA attached, the positive signal is using, say the 12 and 6...

What’s the early verdict?  
Help with stylus cleaning
+3 Magic Eraser  I had a multitude of brushes then I got a USB microscope for SRA alignments. I could clearly see those brushes were not so great. I tried the magic eraser and the results were amazing.  
Elac PPA-2 hum trouble.
I exercised the pots and dip switches. I also took the cover off and found the connection to the IEC ground was loose. I tightened that up and voila!! I could not return mine because I bought it used. If I were in your shoes I would RMA that thing...

@theophile  Audio Science Review was not kind to the Truth, I figured it must sound excellent.

I’m thinking an SUT might be a solution. Any thoughts on that?

@holmz  This makes zero sense to me… Agreed The cart is generally a thing that generates a current, and the electrical field would seem to be difficult to get into a twisted set of differential wires. And to get enough charge on the LP to...

@theophile sorry to hear about your health issues but glad you’re doing better. That Audio Technica ART20 is a beautiful cartridge- congratulations!! What phono preamp/SUT are you using?

@ejb14  nope- single end doesn’t do it at all under any circumstance

That’s actually pretty funny

I ended up with a snow day so I assembled two XLR to RCA adapters. I also wired a conductor attached to pin 1 in each XLR that exits at the connector base. Think XLR with an external ground wire. I made a junction for the two ground wires ending i...

@nrenter I will be addressing the static issue as well, later this week.
