Orpheus, when you say
Almando, where does your 'separate ground wire' connect at the turntable end? Also, I really don't recommend any 'regular' IC, (like the Audio Art) for connecting a cartridge (any cartridge, but especially lo or med output) to a phonoamp. So even though the TT comes with an RCA connector block, don't think that means you can use any RCA IC's you might have laying around ;--) You still need a dedicated tonearm interconnect for that purpose. Not only will it be properly properly shielded, but it's shield will be properly oriented with respect to the (bundled) ground wire. If those items are selected and installed with care, even a nearby radio station should have little effect IMO.
I bought a radio and threatened the guy when that happened to me.I'm not sure I understand what you mean? So what was the outcome of your report to the FCC?
