Buzz with P1 and new Ortofon red cart
« on: 4 May 2009, 06:32 pm »
Hi all, does anyone have experience with the Rega P1 and the Ortofon 2m Red? I installed the cart myself about 2 weeks ago and I'm noticing a buzz that is much louder than anything I ever noticed before the cart switch. I've double-checked the wiring and that is all correct. My understanding is that the P1 is grounded through the power cable.

Are there known issues with this cart/table setup? I haven't seen anything but perhaps I missed a post on the topic. How have other people grounded this setup?

1. Have you double checked that the stylus is installed all the way?

2. Is your interconnect cable close to any transformers or a wall wart?

3. What phono preamp are you using and is it perhaps set for higher than necessary gain?
