Transparent Cable Humming

Greg - apparently your "retailer" is not aware of the fact that a phono cartridge operates at a FAR lower output level than other audio components ( cd player, tape deck, etc). It is for these other components that the TRansparent ML Plus was designed. Because the phono signal level is so low compared to the 2V "standard" for other audio components, the hum is created. Get yourself a decent set of phono specific interconnects and ditch the Transparents ( and the retailer as well)

Update!

Just spoke to the folks at Transparent. Apparently, thier cables work with about 95% of applications. They have recently released phono specfic interconnects and will be sending me a set within the next few days for an exchange at no cost.

Jwpstayman - if this does not work, can you recommend a decent set of interconnects?

Greg - I would try a set of KImber TAK ( tone arm kable)- CU or Cardas Neutral Reference Phono cables for this application - good luck!

Thanks for the advice!

Well it looks (sounds) like the cables are not the culprit. I have tried many other phono cables and I am getting a hum with static. Wondering if a phono stage tube is going bad.
