You need shielded phono cable from your turntable to the phono stage (this is where the problem is, if you're using unshielded ) and maybe even from a phono stage to amp.
At wits' end with radio through the speakers!
Hi, i am hoping for some creative ideas here ...
I have "upgraded" to a tubed phono stage with Herron VTPH2A.
I can hear quite clearly radio in the background! Drives me nuts!
I tried:
2 more data points:
"old" Schiit Mani phono is quiet and cant hear the radio!
Thanks in advance!

I tried:
- Moving TT.
- Moving preamp.
- Moving grounding cable.
- Upgraded phono cable (slight improvement but still very clear)
- Upgraded audio cables.
- Using Ground Control GC1 doo
- Inserting shorting plugs.

Oh brother. I have the exact same problem(not with a Herron) and no matter what I’ve tried from everybody I’ve spoken to nothing helps. SS or tube. It suddenly started one day and I wonder if some sort of magnetic field developed in my large apartment building that I can do nothing about short of moving which is impossible. Digital is fine. Analog is no longer viable. |
Thanks everyone for the responses! so: Digital stage (Auralic, Chord) are quiet as a mouse. Phono cable is shielded: Cardas Clear Sygnus. Talked to Keith Herron. Indeed very approachable and helpful guy. His suggestion is the shielded cables. One thing i will try now is Clip-on Ferrite Ring i saw in one of the forums. Cheap enough. The last option is to move to West Virginia ! :) |
