I hear hum. What do I do?
Depends on the hum. Some hum (and hiss) are typical of turntables.
Welcome to the wonderful world of analog reproduction!
No I mean LOUD hum.
Aha. In that case, try the following:
1. Make sure the turntable ground is securely connected to your
phono preamp by a short, thick ground cable. Also make sure the
cable isn’t tangled in power cords. Yes, this matters.
2. If you already have the turntable ground connected, try discon-
necting it. Seriously. Some components do better without a ground
strap from the turntable.
3.Try different short, well-shielded RCA cables to your phono pre-
amp. Long RCAs can pick up all sorts of noise. You want the cables
as short as possible from the turntable to the phono preamp.
4. Turn down the gain on your phono preamp (if it has this adjust-
ment).
5. Relocate the turntable and phono preamp. Both may pick up hum
and noise from other components with strong magnetic fields, like
power amplifiers.
FAQ
Hey, I don’t have any volume, and there’s no bass!
Do you have a phono preamp, or a preamp or integrated amp with a
phono preamp built in? If not, you’ll need one. Records need a spe-
cific equalization curve (the RIAA curve) and a lot of gain in order to
sound right.
What if I want to use multiple cartridges? Do I have to do the set-up
every time for every one of them?
If you want them to sound right, yes. However, you could also buy
and set up additional Sol Tonearms, which will allow you to swap an
entire pre-set arm in seconds. It just sits on the pivot pin and plugs
in with a pin connector.
It doesn’t turn on, what do I do?
Plug it in to a different AC socket. Ensure you are not currently in a
blackout. Then email us if it still doesn’t turn on.
