abovetheearth Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 It might be a ground issue then. Does your table have a ground wire, or is it one of the cheap sony's that are internally grounded (built in preamp)? Does it happen on any input, or just your turntable? Try turning it up where you can hear the hum and move the balance around on your speakers, and also adjust the volume a bit. If you get pops and static, it probably just needs cleaned. cheap Sony. I'm upgrading after I move eventually. great advice. thanks. I clean them great and barely ever have pops anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecayToDeath Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I don't check tracking anymore unless it's been over a week. I like to be surprised, and I don't have to worry about it warping in the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippielauryn Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Someone in here probably knows this off hand. Is any particular vinyl version of Beggars by Thrice better than another? Nope. I'm pretty sure they are all the same quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a can of deoxit, or somewhere that sells it, open the receiver up and spray all the connections with it and also spray behind the knobs and turn them back and forth a bunch. That should clear out any oxidation and improve the receiver. How old is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I would actually love to, but I doubt I know enough to really be of us. There is also not very many places left around that do it, and the one shop I asked only has one employee and does not need anymore right now . I have thought about asking if he wants an unpaid apprentice a day or two a week, just so I can learn more. Soldering is my weak point in the process now.

Guest Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 receiver is about 10+ and the turntable is about 5 years old. Hmm, 10 years is enough to oxidize, but the symptoms don't usually start that soon. Did the noise just start? Have you recently moved it to a different area/new outlet? It may sound dumb, but it you have a wifi router or cordless phone near, it can sometimes cause hum if your cables are not shielded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(enter Speed joke) the router and phone are other side of room. i think maybe my speaker is too close? can a magnetic thing happen? It is very possible. Try to move them away a bit, and see if it helps. If not, try touching all your cables when you hear the noise, and see if by doing so it goes away or is reduced.

Guest Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I really shouldn't, but I'm going to order quite a few of the records from my want list this weekend. I've been sitting on some too long, and a lot are still available retail, so why not? I should be saving though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic_ Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Whoa whoa whoa, hold the phone.... This isn't you?!?!?!?!?!?!? I actually look pretty damn similar when my hair gets long. That's why I never let it get that long, it's impossible to keep going the right way. My eyes are kinda that hazel color if I'm wearing the right shirt too, but it depends, they look really blue or green if I wear a shirt of that respective color.
