Rega P6 picks up radio signal and hum

[nopiano]

Same crap is happening on my system (with McIntosh MA12000). The hum reduces as the turntable (P6) is further away from the amp, but I cannot put it so far away because these attached cables are short. I cannot even replace the cables (truly idiotic design). Plus, as the turntable itself is picking up the hum, I am not sure how far out it should be from the amp. I am using a rack from SolidSteel, and I do not want to keep adding the stack to secure enough distance. It is not cheap. Well, I am ditching the turntable and won't be coming near to anything stupid Rega. Never again (and I hope others learn from this before throwing money out of the window).

I’ve read similar in the last few months. Unfortunately, McIntosh seem renowned for amps giving off too much RF or EMI or whatever it is. I think the problem I read was with a Linn owner, so it’s more a Mac issue than Rega here. Not to defend Rega’s less than stellar reputation for hum, but fair is fair.

Unfortunately he hasn’t been back since his first post! Complain and run is getting quite frequent!

Perhaps you were replying to the new guy with the McIntosh?

Damn, forgot we are now in 2024, must read the thread dates properly

Found it. The eventual issue was a duff cartridge. But the McIntosh issues were significant.

LP12 + T-Kable + Trampolin2

Hi folks, I decided to treat myself and purchased the T-Kable for my Ittok LVII arm, along with the Trampolin2. Today, I decided to give it a shot and assemble the whole thing, but I found myself facing an unexpected issue. I can't believe this issue exists, and I hope I'm just doing...

XLR balanced outputs on many turntables these days
XLR used in pro circles over huge distances with no hum
