Phono stage inquiry

My phono preamp is dead silent!

I only hear a little hiss on my Simaudio Moon LP5.3 RS when the volume is at the max.

That doesn't mean you phono has an issue - all phono stages are different.

Have you tried this with JUST the phono stage connected?
- i.e. assuming you have other components

Whest make some very good products - perhaps send them an email and ask them directly.

If I encounter an issue I always disconnect all other components

Phonostages with SUT for the MC gain are normally super silent (if grounding is taken care of). Active stages can have that mild hiss.

Thanks for the replies guys. It's good to know it's normal... so it's the design of the Whest...?
@yogiboy what is your phono stage?

Thanks Bill.

Thanks for the info Steve, I'll try that.
