Please better describe what you are hearing. If it is indeed a "sizzle", I doubt that the GCPH is at fault. Check the dresssing of your interconnect with respect to your AC cord. Sometimes the two can interact particularly if they are running parallel at a close distance. Also, a fault in tonearm wiring can cause a sizzle. Very tough to get rid of it totally but with careful attention to details, it can be minimized. I have two Dynavector DV505s. One of them has sizzle, and the other does not, or has much much less of it, on the same TT with the same phono stage. We think it's a fault in the internal wiring of the one DV505. Forgot to mention, carefully do ground your tonearm. That may help.
PS Audio GCPH to loud . Where to go next?
As my system evolves I am realizing that the GCPH makes a lot of noise. It's not hum or anything like that just sort of a sizzle. My system is: almarro a205a ,Cambridge audio Dac magic, Cambridge audio 340c, pro-ject 2 xperience acryl with speed box mkii,Dynavector 17d3 cartridge and the PS Audio GCPH all soon to be feed into my new Tekton Lores.This is where the problem lies. The digital is dead silent when nothing is playing.I understand that I may not equal the silence of the digital but it should come a lot closer than the gcph does. So any suggestions. This will likely be a lateral move as far as price is concerned but I could stretch a little maybe up to the $1500 range.The new phono preamp would need to have enough gain to handle the 17d3
