Finally. After installing the right valued caps (47uF) on my Cornet at C2, C4, and C-10; my Cornet is now hum-free. I really learned a valuable lesson of checking parts first before installing them. I also want to take this opportunity to thank all my felllow Audiocircle members who helped me in my quest to eliminate this hum. To GRD, Mike G and theint, thank you very much guys for putting up with me. Your advice were greatly appreciated. To Jim H., I apologize, I almost lost faith.
The Cornet is now singing. Beautiful. This phono pre is really good. Right out the bat, with only an hour of break-in, it trounced my Monolithic Phono with upgraded power supply from my system. Its a good match with the DIY Lundahl step-up transformer that I did. I also want to plug another one of Jim's product, the Fry Kleaner. The Fry Kleaner is an amazing device. Sweep your system for 24 hours and you will not beleive the improvement you will hear. I tried it on my cheapest interconnect (maybe about $10 for the meter pair) for 36 hours. Maybe its just me but when I compared this IC to my Acoustic Zen MKII, Bogdan Silvers and Groneberg Reference Quattro for my TT, guess which one I'm now using. Its that good. Happy Listening to everyone. Go build a FryKleaner!
