London Decca

The grounding ideas are worth a try, but Deccas, including mine, seem to have an affinity for hum that defies attempts to remove it.

Thank you so much, Noromance……great ideas. But sadly, no change. I will try to borrow phono stage and see if that changes things. And I have a friend who is a super setup guru too. Maybe he will have some ideas.

JaFox, are you using balanced inputs from phono to Aria? How about running phono ground to mains ground directly?

It's been awhile since one poster was looking for a Super Gold, but for anyone currently looking for one, I will be putting my NOS one on Audiogon later today. New Old Stock as I Brooks Berdan order me two, one to use and one for back-up (common amongst Decca devotees). I never needed to pull the back-up out of it's box (the Decca QC problems of the past are just that!), and am currently getting ready for the final move of my life (hopefully), so it's time to consolidate and minimize. Look for it tonight if interested.
