Hi have a Rega P3 turntable hooked up directly to phono input on a Musical Fidelity A5. First off, let me say that the musical sound is excellent....BUT.....I get a distracting hum. In the "old days" this was due to a poor earth grounding of the deck, but in the case of the P3 this is incorporated into the RCAs, so no way to do anything with this. The hum gets worse as the arm moves towards the centre of the record and although you obviously don't play the label, the hum is at its worst when you place the arm over the centre. Essentially, from about halfway through playing side of the LP, the hum is noticeable through any quiet sections of music.
First off, I believe this to be an endemic problem with the current Rega turntables. I did take the deck back to the shop, but they gave me the "it's normal", which frankly is b****cks. They did however lend me a phone/line Rega unit, which did help a little.
Anyone out there have any bright ideas how I can get this sorted? I am up for rewiring the tone arm, adding a PSU, adding a line input....basically anything I can do to sort this out so appropriate aftermarket vendors, websites, how to's, gratefully received as I have been wandering blindly through youtube but have had little luck in finding the appropriate information.
thanks all. |
