Try this. Gently move your cart wires a bit with your finger when everything is turned on and the tone arm is “home”. See if that changes anything. I had ground issues for quite awhile and found that I had to have anything the turntable was connected to plugged into a single outlet via a power block of some sort. I currently use a Shunyata hydra which is great. Overall though, the ground issues I had related to the phono stage and it’s position relative to the tone arm.
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!
