Thank you all for the awesome advise, it helps alot. I want to ask if the body of all cartridges has to be grounded or certain cartridges doesn’t need the body to be grounded to the head- shell? Also, can i say that all turntable tonearm & base has to have ground loop with the turntable body? What happen if just the turntable by itself has a ground loop but the tonearm doesn’t or vice vera? Will this cause hum noise?
Hum coming from Turntable
I need help in tracking a slight hum on my turntable. I did narrow it down, and the cause of this would be my turntable. Is this due:
1) cartridge not grounded properly
2) cartridge wires are loose
3) turntable grounding is bad
4) phono cable not properly shielded
Can any members/technical person that work on turntable can help me out. Much appreciated!
