Can hear TV or Radio station via Phono stage ???

What causes this? Most noticable during quiet passages in the music. Using a Lyra Lydian Beta, BAT VKP10, SME 20 Table...

And more importantly...how do I eleminate it? Thanks!

Then make sure both tonearm is grounded to phono preamp and then your table plinth (bearing) is grounded to something. If you do these two things, 99% of RF problems will be a distant memory.

I had three plus year old New Sensor Mullard EL34's in my int amp and once I dropped in new a new set of matched quads WHAMO no more RF issue.
