Hey guys--I've been having an issue and have been trying to figure it out for a week or two, but cannot diagnose or fix it. My turntable and record playing has been perfectly fine for the past two years--until two weeks ago when this issue popped up. Any help would be great. WHAT I HAVEI have the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon, a Marantz PM5004 integrated amp, and a Schitt Mani phono stage. I also have a Schitt MODI DAC for streaming music, as well.THE PROBLEMI’ve had the Pro-Ject over two years. But two weeks ago, when getting ready to play a record, I turned the volume up about 25-30% and I could hear something that sounded like white noise (think “Poltergeist”)—with a bit of a very faint hum noise being heard, too. The white noise/hiss was far more prominent and fairly loud, actually.I also have my computer plugged into a Schitt MODI, and this DAC is plugged into the Marantz amp (this is to play streaming music through the “CD” input). When I switch the input to CD, there’s absolutely no white noise. Switch back to AUX input for my Pro-Ject turntable—white noise is back.I have a complete list of all the trouble shooting things I've tried to do to fix it. I can post it all later if anyone thinks it will be helpful--I just didn't want this first post to be too long. But, in short, I've tried everything from unplugging everything and plugging it back in, to just unplugging the turntable, to switching out the turntable with an older table I have, to switching amps, to directly connecting the turntable to the amp and by passing the Schitt Mani phono stage, etc...still haven't diagnosed the problem and I'm running out of ideas, unfortunately.If anyone has any thoughts, I'd love to hear them.
