| Mild hum/buzz preamp issue? Try running a ground cable between all three components - one between the turntable and preamp, AND one between the preamp and receiver. That's what solved this issue when I owned a Debut Carbon. Otherwise, you might have a bad solder joint in one... | |
| Does anyone think a U-turn Orbit turntable a good entry level choice?... Or not? IMO, the Orbit is probably the best option at the $300-ish price point. I've handled most of the contenders in this range and the U-turn felt the most robust and well-built. One of the most important parts of any turntable is the platter bearing. ... | |
