Phono amp RFI problem


Hi everyone,

Just added the amazing LFD LE/SE phono stage to my system.  It sounds great, but it picks up local radio stations (clearly enough that I know there's a sale at the local boat shop!). I've tried moving the unit around, but it still picks up the signal.  I'm using a Silnote phono cable, and I've never had this problem with any other phono stage.  Any suggestions on how to deal with it?  

Thanks, Scott

You could try ferrite ring(s) and wrap the phono cable through it several times. This is a easy fix if it works.  Also, you can braid the cart. leads of the tonearm prior to connecting to the cartridge pins, but be gentle. 

If there was a phono RFI/EMI issue I've had it or have it. I can't use a SS phono preamp in my system. I'm just glad I found that tubed phono's defeat most of the RF/EM issues I have.  I still have issues but they are manageable now.
