Hi everyone!
I’m finding there are multiple solutions to this issue depending on the set up and turntable.
Basically I have set up my Music Hall MMF-1.3 Turntable to my two Era 100 using line in connected to a RCA to AUX and I’m getting a massive humming noise.
Changing the source level to the lowest does resolve the issue, however I’m too understand it should be at 10 for a turntable so I don’t think I’m getting the best out of it. The humming also returns on a low level if the volume is too high, I like to listen to my records quite loud.
I feel like a grounding cable might help, but I don’t know where I could connect the other end too given the Era 100 doesn’t have anything to connect it to.
Things to note:
- The turntable has a built-in phono pre-amp
- the tone arm is aluminium
- each speaker is 0.6m either side of the turntable
- The turntable also sits under my TV
- All of the adapters for my entertainment unit sit underneath where my turntable sits connected to a power board
I have a feeling someone will tell me the issue is all of the electrical activity around the turntable, but I really like having it here, really suits the aesthetic of my home.
Hoping someone can help!
