As a few may know I had my Sondek set up last week , tested with other equipment fine at service. Brought it home and connected it to my as new pre amplifier via the RCA plugs on the Linn Krane lead. Attached earth cable and have noticed a hum
coming from right speaker, I rotated the phono lead in the socket on the pre amp and the hum went away immediately, no further hum on that listening session. Turned pre amp on the following day and hum was back on that right channel??, same thing move rca and it goes away. Thought there may be an issue with the RCA cable so tried another pre amplifier and no hum at all via headphones?. Could this be an issue with the pre amp phono inputs please?. How can it be that you rotate an RCA plug and it goes away , and returns the following listening session. I didn’t insert the plug any further as that isn’t possible. What would you think was causing this hum the phono connection on the preamp itself?.
The pre amp is covered with a 6 year warranty but I’d like to confirm it’s one or the other first.
