    Help! Amp humming!

    I think he said he earthed it though the phono cable or something. But then he also made a seperate ground cable. Sounds weird? I’ll try to take a picture of the inside of the turntable where the ground cable is connected. When the turntable is on and I touch the phono cable plug, the hum...

    Help! Amp humming!

    The thing is, there isn’t really a spot on the turntable for a ground wire. So the radio guy in town just wired it on the left and right phono it seems. But it doesn’t seem to do any difference for me when I attach it to the amp, so maybe he did it wrong or something.

    Help! Amp humming!

    Thank you guys for your help! I will try a shorter cable. The thing is just that the humming sound already appears before I even connect the turntable in the other end. So, it’s not the turntable making the sound. Just the long cable in itself is enough to make the hum. And I’ve tried two, it’s...

    Help! Amp humming!

    Hello, I’ve spent days roaming the internet for a solution, so I really hope you can help! I have an Harmon/Kardon HK3270 RDS and an old BSR turntable. When I just plug in my turntable to the amp, it sounds awesome. BUT my turntable is 15 feet away from my amp, so I have to use a 15 ft RCA...
