Bought one last week and was excited. I could hear a faint hum immediately but thought it was a fan in my hallway. Three songs later it was obvious and getting worse. After poking at things, found that it was indeed worse the closer the cartridge was to the spindle. Tried everything I could electrically to fix it to no avail. I even bought a $200 phono amp. Ridiculous to have such a problem. Returned it and ordered a Pro-Ject X2. My AT LP 60 sounded better than the P3. No way I was going to start monkeying around trying to jury rig an internal ground or add shielding to a new $1K component.
Rega Planar 3 hum resolve.
So, I called my local stereo shop to find out if Rega got back to them about my Planar 3 tt.( they've had it since Sat.) I noticed a hum that got more noticeable the closer I moved the tonearm to the spindle. Well turns out they sent my stereo shop a new tonearm which should be here tmrw or Sat. So hopefully that's the fix!
