Ground Hum with Rega RP6, Exact and TT PSU.

Pivetta just curious do you hear the hum while a album is playing? I do not. Only as I move the tonearm from the edge to the center of the platter.
But it drives me crazy knowing it's there. I have a pair of Wyred 4 Sound mAmps 430 watts into 4 ohms my speakers are 5 ohms and I do play my music very loud. I have taken the arm completely off but everything looks fine. I too have Googled this and there are a lot of complaints. I’ve upgraded cables moved the phono preamp, grounded the phono preamp nothing helps. Wonder if it’s the cartridge have thought of going with a Ortofon 2M Black but then you have to shim the tonearm. Don’t understand how Rega gets great reviews when so many people have problems.

A big reason I run from Regas now besides the overly cheap build quality the terrible plastic speed control the poorly designed dust covers....They love to hum. My RP6 did I couldn't rectify so off it went to agon. I owned a good bit of rega over the decades but not any more run run from rega products get a VPI dont look back.

I hear you johnk. I think that I have buyer's remorse. I totally agree with that the sub platter is not all that great but once you put the platter on top it has lots of inertia. I think the tonearm is very good. I was talking to my wife and wished that i have never sold my Linn Axis which was DEAD QUIET after 28 years of use. The Rega does sound better in my opinion and I will give it a chance. I am also considering doing the incognito Wiring upgrade to see if that helps. I will talk to the rep and my dealer to see what they say. 

lenmc2964. I will try what you suggest however I have learned in my life that if something works keep it and do small improvements. I listen to a lot of classical music and there are soft passages which you can hear the hum a bit more. I am also disappointed that you have to hold the tonearm lift mechanism otherwise it drops too quickly and it tends to jump into the track and not from the beginning. AARRRRGGGHHHHHH.

I would send it back and purchase another brand turntable.  FWIW, I have had 3 VPI turntables over the past 25 years and I  never got a hum from any of them.  I am using a low output mc cartridge (.3mv) and no hum.

My RP6 has never had a hum and I've used mine with 3-4 different phono preamps as well without issue.  Also the lift mechanism also lowers very slowly.  More than likely you have a defective unit. Since it's on loan try another or send it back.
