Feedback noise from TT


Hello. I just relocated to USVI and my TT setup is getting a loud humming noise from the left channel, which gets louder when the table is spinning. I changed nothing in terms of cables, equipment, etc.

I live in a condo. Also, I get no noise when I am playing a digital source. Any clues that may help me start to solve this issue?

Thank you,

Marc

First, check the blue wire that connects from the headshell to the cartridge pin, it's probably loose or off. If you need to tighten it, put a tooth pick inside and tighten with a pliers. The toothpick will keep it from totally collapsing.

If this is not the problem check the left tonarm cable where it plugs into the back of the preamp/phono stage make sure that the outer ring is tight and making good contact.

If that doesn't work, you may want to take out your arm cable, where it plugs into the bottom of the arm and reseat it.
Make sure the cables are plugged all of the way in as per Viridian and of course the ground wire is connected also.
