    RQ-970BX

    I just purchased the RQ-970BX to hook up an older Oracle turnable to the RSP-1066. I am having so problems with a very audible hum. I have tried the following:
    - checking all connections
    - moving the amps
    - moving the power supply
    - disconnecting the turntable from the RQ-970BX - hum gone
    - disconnecting turntable power supply - better but hum very audible

    It would appear to be a turntable issue but does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks

      Assuming your turntable is properly grounded... try very gently moving the wiring to the cartridge... it's not unheard of for them to shift position slightly over time, which compromises the connection, which can be a cause of hum... it's happened to me a couple times on 'tables i'd owned for several years... carefully shifting them back into position always remedied that.

          That did the trick. I removed the connectors, cleaned and re-applied. Presto.

          Thanks again.

              Turntable recommendation
              by SteveT
              As a possible upgrade consideration, I was thinking of also upgrading my turntable. I'd like to get one that will perform to my needs. My thing is that I like to play my music at loud levels with decent base response, and my turntable now receives feedback and starts to hum. This even happens if...

              Integra Dtr 7.1 - Phono Hum Problem
              by gudge111
              I recently purchased a turntable and connected it to the phono jack on my integra dtr 7.1. I noticed a couple of things:

              1 the signal didn't split to my subwoofer so I only receive signal to the 2 front satellite speakers. Is this normal? I have configured the system to include the...
