Sutherland PhD Issues

Geesh!!!
I'm very sorry folks for my typos in my last response.
I'm a superb speller, but a poor typer at times.

That should've read "A poorly shielded Cable", and/or "Faulty Tonearm, or Cable Wiring".

And as I had first suspected, a faulty Sentry Potentiometer on the Sutherland PhD. No doubt a $3 part on a $3,000 Unit, which could easily go awry.

Maybe a "miracle shot" of DeOxIt might do the trick?
It wouldn't be the first time, DeOxIt had come to the rescue! lol This stuff saved my own Cal Delta Transport a few months back! Mark

Many thanks to you and the others on this thread. It was a RFI problem. I replaced the phono cable from the TTie Clearaudio Emotion with a Cardas Golden Cross and viola the Phd has started shutting off even with the CDP playing. Something that never happened earlier.
Many thanks for all the help and support.
Cheers

Congrats! I wonder if that's often a problem with the Emotion and Phd.

Hello Piper/All
I've been helping "Sunny" try to weed through this problem, as he recognized I was another owner, and would perhaps understand the use of the Sutherland Better.

Of course, I'm no electronics technician by any sense of the term, , but the first "aha" came when he mentioned that the Unit did shut down without Cables hooked to it. I then suspected another cause, other than a fault of the PhD.

I wouldn't suspect a poor interaction between the Sutherland, and any of the Clearaudio Tables per se, as another friend of mine is using a Clearaudio Master Reference Table with his Sutherland PhD, and has experienced no such problems.

I reckon these conclusions-cures in which we have arrived at, clearly show-proove just how important a good shielded Phono Cable is, versus just a standard IC, no matter how high the Quality.

Thank you all again folks for your input. Mark D.
