Hello Firstly thank you to everyone for the very helpful replies. I actually decided to up my budget to around the £2500 mark to allow me a better range of options. Today I had my first demonstration which included: Turntables: Pro-Ject 1 Xpression Carbon and Pro-Ject 2-Xperience Acryl...

Hello everyone I'm planning on buying a new hi-fi system which will include a turntable, amplifer and speakers with a total budget of around or a little over £2000. I shall be visiting a couple of shops in the coming weeks to have a listen to products that have been recommened to me. One of...

Hey man. Apologies for the delay in responding. Just wanted to say thanks for all the advice and information you gave to me. I think I am at this point ready to move on from the old system. Sad as it is I've had no joy solving the route cause of the problem and can no longer be bothered with...

First off the hum is heard when the phono button on my own amplifier is turned on which also results in intermittent pops and bangs. It does not seem to happen when the aux button is used. A number of tests have subsequently been carried out. One that may interest you is that the amplifier...

Thanks for all the help so far. I should add that repairs have been carried out on these items in the last couple of years or more specifically to have them 'fully restored'. However, subequent to this I then had to have the tweeters replaced in both the speakers The turntable then started...

Ok, thanks. Turntable: Garrard AP76 Cartridge: Shure M75EJ Type 2 Amplifier: Armstrong 521 Speakers: Wharfedale Linton 2

Hello I'm just looking for a little advice from anyone who maybe has previous experience of this sort of thing. I have a late 1960s era turntable and amplifier along with speakers from the early 1970s. I think both the amplifier and speakers are in working order but the turntable may need to...

Hi Sorry for the delayed response. I've been a little busy! I tried removing the biwireable leads that connect the speakers to the amp one at a time and then plug them back into the opposing port(s). It still seems to be the same speaker causing the buzzing and distortion problem regardless...

Ok. Will do. I shall try as you suggest tomorrow and give some further feedback.

Hey I did actually try this but forgot to mention it. The problem still seems to occur from the same speaker even after swapping the wires.

Hi Just a quick query that I hope someone might be able to help with. I posted a few months back about an issue I was experiencing with hum from my speakers. The problem was never really properly resolved but a more recent issue which has arisen is distortion or a buzzing-like sound emitting...

Hi Thanks for all the advice. Very much appreciated. I was originally going to give some additional information that I thought might be helpful to anyone interested in this issue. Unfortunately the whole situation has now become more complicated. As I said in my previous post I was under...

Thanks for such a quick response. After I unplugged the turntable connection from the back of the amp there was no longer any noticeable hum. Complete silence as far as I could tell. I'm not sure about earth leads (definition-wise I mean) but for the meantime I will try to describe the set-up...

Hello Everyone First time posting here so thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to help with my query. Recently I inherited a Garrard AP 76 turntable and Armstrong 521 amplifier (both originally purchased in the early 1970s I believe). Excited that I finally had some classic vintage...
