Hum a problem with Planar 25/ Grado cartridge?

I have no real personal experience with the problem, but my understanding is that the level of hum can range from almost non-existant to significant depending and it varies from one particular set-up to another. The hum seems to become more pronounced toward the end of the record as, presumably, the cartridge gets closer in proximity to the motor.

Whatever hum might be encountered seems to be fairly low-level and some have reported that they don't find it objectional. I avoided the Grado when I had a P3, but had considered Rega's top cartridge (the "Exact")as it got good reviews and it would be a breeze to install. Heard the "Exact" once, but not in my system, so it would be difficult to say how it performed.

Grado has some models that deal with the hum issue. Music Direct metions it in their catalog...

From my experience, Grado will produce a hum with Rega.
Using Rega carts do not use three point mounting. Use the standard alighnment procedure with two-point mounting.

FWIW, I'm currently running a P25 with a Dynavector 17d2 MkII cart and have had no problems with hum (very low output mc).

Have a 25 mounted with a super elys, very happy with it.

Have also heard to avoid grado with a rega.

Have heard that dynavector is a good match with rega.
