| PS Audio GCPH Phono Preamp Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Guess the bottom line is getting one and trying it out. | |
| PS Audio GCPH Phono Preamp Thanks, Lwin. How about noise? | |
| Testing a cartridge Thanks, everyone. I will certainly try these things and get back with the results! | |
| Cartridge for Empire 698 turntable Thanks, everyone, for the great suggestions. I'll definitety want to try the Empire 4000, just a matter of finding an NOS one! | |
| Manual for Micro Seiki DD30 Turntable Thanks, Viridian. I finally found where my posts had gone to! I will try that. | |
| Noise when playing vinyl Guys, thank you again! Viridian, I placed felt pads under the heavy entertainment center that I have the TT on, and I also placed felt pads on the metal feet that my Totem speakers have. That has solved the problem! Which is a good thing, because ... | |
| Noise when playing vinyl Thank you all for your prompt replies! Here's what I've got so far:Zd542, the turntable does not have a built in preamp. When I connected it to a line level input, there was minimal sound with the volume turned up. Mattmiller, I don't know the mod... | |
| Loud hum in one channel Thanks, guys. You know, I was never enamored with that phono preamp that was installed, and I wonder why it took the Empire TT to bring out all the bad in it, when the Funk was playing not too badly. At any rate, I will shop for an external phono ... | |

| Loud hum in one channel Puerto, yes the hum is present when the preamp is set to TT but not on CD or AUX. I will disconnect the ground wire as soon as I get home and report back. Thanks for your help! | |

| Help with set-up of Empire 598III Turntable Afterwards it is, then. That makes the most sense. Thanks all for your help. | |
| Help with set-up of Empire 598III Turntable Thanks for your help, but I am still confused with the set-up of the Dyna-Lift PRIOR to balancing the tonearm with the cartridge; do I put the counterweight on or do I leave it off? | |
| VPI HW-17 Thanks, everybdy! I have tossed the Discwasher and just ordered the MSFL brushes. Will get back to you! | |
| Is analog supposed to be so noisy? Thanks, guys, for all your responses. Indeed, the ground wire was broken; I spliced it and 95% of the noise is gone. Certainly not as quiet as digital, which is practically noise-free, but quite an improvement! |
