Give Keith Herron a call and see what he thinks. Keith is a great guy and easy to reach, from my experience. It doesn’t matter if you didn’t buy it directly from him, he’ll still help you. Good luck!
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.

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 ! :) |
I had that problem when a local radio station moved its antenna a half mile from my house back in the 80’s. I could not get rid of the radio sound playing in the background no matter what I tried. I even tried shielded speaker cables. Lucky for me the station folded within 6 months and about 3 years later their antenna was dismantled. There are new houses where the radio station used to be now. |
