Hi everyone,
I know the hum/buzz on a rp1 is well documented, but I can't really find an answer to my question.
I recently moved into an older house and the turntable has developed a on/off hum. I have tried everything from isolating the turntable and preamp, plugging it straight into the wall, trying different amps/preamps, trying different power strips, but nothing is solving this.
I have always noticed a hum when I crank my amp to 8 through 10 when nothing is playing, but at an average volume you can barely hear it. However, I did discover that a more pronounced hum happens when it the floor lamp is turned on in the living room. This occurs when the amp is sitting at 3 or 4.
My assumption is that this is because the line is taxed out and there is too much electrical noise on the line.
So my question is, has anyone experienced this and is it worth purchasing a line conditioner? Or, is there another way to isolate the turntable?
Thanks in advance!
