melikecheese Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 So I got some bad buzzing on my setup. It's loud. It's getting on my nerves. I already made sure the grounding was in place on the pre-amp. That didn't help. Any other suggestions? I go from turn table to pre-amp to receiver, nothing fancy.

ps Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Sometimes I get buzzing on my system when there is a bunch of shit on my stylus.... maybe clean your stylus??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melikecheese Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 stylus is all clean ,thanks though, anything else? could all the speaker and power cables (for tv, game systems, cd player,etc etc) being shoved into a little hole and being all wound up cause this?

vittywatt Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 so i thought my shit was grounded correctly and i still got bad buzzing sometimes. well finally i took the grounding cable from my record player and actually unscrewed a screw from my receiver and then tightened it with the ground wire. worked like a charm. i bet theres something in your connection that's still not grounded.

tankerdesk Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I was going to say a grounding issue. What changed with your setup? Did you move anything, or use something different? Was there something else running on the same circuit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxmartinxx Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Does it only happen when using the turntable? Do you have a preamp and a power amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinylme Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 check your rca plugs cheap ones do that or if they arent plugged in all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you I will check this again. Only my pre-amp has a grounding cable and you don't actually screw it on, you just squeeze the pre-amp and slide it under the screw...(maybe its just a piece of shit?)

melikecheese Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Does it only happen when using the turntable? Do you have a preamp and a power amp? Only when I turn the receiver input to the turntable, all other inputs are fine, cable, game systems, radio stations, no buzz, just the turn table input. I was going to say a grounding issue. What changed with your setup? Did you move anything, or use something different? Was there something else running on the same circuit? The setup didnt change but it did move to another house and it seems to be a bigger issue at this place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using a pre-amp, not a poweramp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakland Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I'd bet anything it's a ground issue. What are you ground it to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickz123 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 try moving your turntable farther from you receiver. Mine buzzes real loud if my turnable is within 3 feet of the receiver. Some arn't shielded and get interference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
