Contact problems with the signal
connections (e.g. cinch plugs,
adapters for extensions)
Check all connections; reduce the level on the
(pre-)amplifier to a low volume for acoustic
checking of gross errors.
Metal housing acts as an
antenna and catches hum.
It can be helpful for conductivity to connect the
metal parts of the turntable to the ground of
the (phono) preamplifier. The turntable provides
a grounding terminal for this purpose. Use a
sufficiently thick wire to establish the ground
connection.
The pickup pins are mixed up, not
connected correctly or defective.
