The buzzing noise is at 60Hz (my guess), and is pretty loud (volume dependent). I know it's there, so I get bothered by it's presence.
Measuring A Capacitor
I have a preamp (NAD 1155) that has a hum problem. It started when I got a new turntable, so I thought it was a TT grounding problem. But no... The preamp's phono section hums every time it is selected. Even if there is no phono present. All the other inputs are dead quiet.
Anyway, a fellow 'goner thought it is a capacitor that's going 'round the bend. I'm willing to take my volt/ohm meter, and find the offending component, and replace it. All I know about capacitors is that they are measured in picofarads, and they discharge their energy in bursts, when it's requested.
Any help in this regard is much appreciated. I have a mountain of vinyl waiting to be played.
TIA
