| Rega Planar 10/Aria MC Phono Stage HUM While I don't have a frequency meter, and don't know if it's 60 or 120, it's certainly a hum tone. Should the wall outlet screw be grounded? There are Faraday cages on Amazon in which the Aria would fit and when slightly modified the cables coul... | |
| Rega Planar 10/Aria MC Phono Stage HUM If everything else is unplugged/unconnected except the Aria to the integrated amp, the only thing left as the source of the hum would be the wall, yes? I turn off the Aria with everything else disconnected and the hum vanishes. Turn the Aria MC ba... | |
| Rega Planar 10/Aria MC Phono Stage HUM Yah, I'm kinda leaning in that direction already. I think we all deserve no hum. The question is, how much does no hum cost? I would like no hum to cost about as much as an Aria. A bit of a cost benefit analysis as always. | |

| Your favorite 3 rooms at RMAF Another disclaimer: I'm a friend of Sjofn HiFi. That said, there were very few rooms that for me were as engaging as Sjofn's with their new speaker "the clue". I won't go into superlatives, 'cuz it'll just sound like I'm trying to chat it up. I wi... | |
| Best Super-Tweek You Possibly Ever Did My home-brew speaker stand feet: squash balls cut in half (the American variety, not squishy softballs), filled with portland cement with a bolt set therein. Nothing and I mean nothing gets from the floor up to the speakers. Black as obsidian. | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Last year's purchase of Guru QM-10s are a revelation for me and I'll probably hang on to them until I can afford the QM-60s or something comes along that can outpace their amazing musical flexability, price point and compact size. | |
