Intolerable hum occurs with a Grado/Rega combo; I fabricated a metal plate of mu-metal from Magnetic Shield corporation so I could use a Sonata on a Rega, which worked fairly well, but it required more effort and expense than necessary, considering the many alternatives.
Grado Reference Sonata on a Rega P5 ?
So many of the wonderful reviews I've read on the Rega P5 have discussed the musical synergy of the table/arm with a Rega Exact 2 or a Dynavector 10x5 cartridge. Does anybody have experience (good or bad) with the P5 and a Grado Reference Sonata (or the P5 with any Grado) ? Are their any of the notorious "hum issues" with the P5 -- Grado combination ? Thanks for your thoughts.
