Hi Guys
I've scoured the www for help on this one but to no avail :sad:
The setup worked brilliantly well with no buzz nor hum until i relocated the system.
TT connects to preamp via an external phonopreamp.
Heres the annoying problem that just refuses to go away....
When i do not connect the tt ground wire to the ground terminal on the phonopreamp, theres an audible buzz when the volume is turned up.
When i connect the tt ground wire to the ground terminal on the phonopreamp, theres an audible boom(hum) when the volume is turned up.
i'm so distraught...not sure whether this is some ground loop or ..? i've disconnected the entire setup and reconnected...moved the floorstanders away from the TT, swapped the position of the TT with the poweramp, raised the TT level but none of this has helped in eliminating this boom.
I have not been able to play a single record for months now.
I would highly appreciate if any of our forum vinyl experts could drop in at my place and help me sort this out.
