ok...here we go.....i am not sure i see anyone talking much about head shell to cartridge cables. I have a few head shells, mostly AT...actually they may all be though might have an old Ortofon around. Actually bought a nice AT silver head shell to put my VM760SLC on but in the long run there...

ok...been busy, but new table came back about two weeks ago, well the replacement table and all is working perfectly..as it should be, YAY!. the ground loop?...tore it all down, replaced one of the power strips with an upgrade with filter and such and all seems to be fixed...no idea what was...

Yeah....had to order it. https://mofi.com/shop/music/vinyl/new-york-dolls-new-york-dolls-numbered-180g-45rpm-vinyl-2lp/?search_query=MFSL2-580&utm_source=03_17_25_Mon_NewYorkDolls&utm_campaign=03_17_25_Mon_NewYorkDolls&cmp=1&utm_medium=HTMLEmail

good question...actually it was powered off but amp was powered on...if i am not mistaken, it should be a closed circuit without a head-shell on if all is grounded...which in the test, it was. So, it should not hum...no?

quick update....moved amp and turntable (both) to another room...with all hooked up no hum.....but....the technics still had that slight crackly hum with the head shell off. Technics finally said that it could be an internal issue. Sending it back for another and we will see. of note...the AT...

Yes...mine and theirs...same results. Have pulled the amp out of the rack. put in dining room, plugged in - still just putting a cable into the left RCA in produces a hum and not sure if that is normal. but when i hook up either table and ground (in dining room, same outlet), hum is gone.....so...

Yup...yup yup yup......guess i know what i am doing this weekend....tearing it all apart and putting it all back, bit by bit by bit......weeeeeeeeeee Guess i will take the amp for a walk first because if i can recreate that hum on the dining room table with just a turntable....that will...

yes...the table ground is attached to the amp ground. the odd thing is as soon as i plug a cable into the left line, just a loose cable, it starts....not so in the right. also, never noticed this but when all is hooked up and i touch the cable from the table to the amp you can here me moving...

ok...i am going to need some help....not exactly the right topic but still part of the problem. Put the AT table back on, kind of the same issue...though no extreme hum without a head shell on. Found the hum coming from the connection of the left line cable into the MM phono stage of the Hegel...

The table is connected directly to the amp (table does not have a preamp).... it is using the amps mm phono stage. Nothing has changed but the table. The Lokius is not connected yet.

with phones on (which is most of my listening right now)....about 47-52....not audible, but should not hum. If my $300.00 AT table did not hum....I am betting this one shouldn't. Speakers, with the Hegel, no idea as i really do not so much there...betting about the same, maybe a tad more at...

i actually have two, or will have....one between the CD player and the amp, and bought another one to be between the turntable and the amp. I do use the one i have on the CD player a good bit as too many CD's just need a tweaking...not much of an adjustment, but some. So wanted one for the...

Welp....the table came on the 27th (SL100C)....easy to set up and ran it last night, sounded great (with my cartridge on it). Very happy stepping up from a lower end but capable AT table...and if this is the sound i get fomr htis table, will be happy for a good bit of time. But......today was...

Yeah, went with the 100C.....was going black any way i went. Styli i have: Currently on the AT i have the VM540ML I have a VN760SLC that i needed a new stylus for as the one i had got damaged (me being dumb story) I also have a VM N 95 C and E - one came with the AT table...the other i had on...
