Hello.
I have been using my Technics 1500c with the build in preamp and into one of the AUX ports of a home cinema amp for over a years. Last week there was a loud hum when I started the amp with no other equipment turned on. I instantly assumed the old amp had died, but after investigations I have discovered that if the 1500c is connected to the amp and the power cord in in the Record player the hum starts. I don't need to turn on the recordplayer, just have the power cord attached. The store wanted me to jump through the usual hoops and test other cartrigdes, cables etc... I don't have extras cables to test with, but if I remove the cartridge it is the same. is it likely at all the cable should have broken down to cause this in a rack with no cahnges? Is this a common fault? I assume it is just a plain case of returning the 1500c to the store for repair?
