Grado/Rega Hum

Now that I’ve got a subwoofer component in my system, I hear the hum even at low volume, but only when I get close to the speakers. Otherwise, I don’t know it’s there; that's what you said.

"Otherwise you don't even know it's there".


You do not have a "hum hum" problem, but one that goes with that combination of components; that you only hear when you get close to the speakers; that you did not hear before you got the "subwoofer".

You can either change components, enjoy the music, or spend the rest of your life trying to fix a problem that you didn't even know you had until you got the subwoofer.

Orpheus10,

I tend to agree!

Sometimes it's best to just leave s--t alone.

If hum is louder towards the end of record, this will help:

Now you tell me! LOL
 I’ve gone and bought a whole new cartridge costing four figures.
No hum!
