If you have a separate ground wire from the Linn to the phono preamp, try removing it. The Rega arm has a strapped ground in the left channel and a separate ground causes a ground loop.
LP12 Hum
I just received an LP12, & am new to higher end audio. When I hooked it up last week, it started humming. The hum gets louder when I touch the tonearm. LP12 Hum
This is my system:
Naim Flatcap 2
Naim Nait 5
Naim Stageline N
Linn LP12 Sondek with Rega RB300 tonearm & AT440ML cartridge
Before the LP12 I had a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO with a Sumiko Ranier cartridge. The system was silent then. So, I'm pretty sure that the problem is with the LP12, & not the amplifiers. I did check the grounding this morning, & they seem to be firmly in place. If I disconnect the tonearm cables from the phono stage, the hum goes away.
Please advise.
