Hum in Speakers - AMP switched to Phono


Hello,

I have a Denon 5700 A/v Receiver and just purchased an NAD 533 turntable.

When the Denon is switched to Phono I hear a very noticeable hum coming from the speakers.

All my equipment is on a dedicated circuit and I am running everything thru a PANAMAX Line Conditioner.

I have not had a turntable since I was a kid and just got a hold of a bunch of vinyl.

Is the hum supposed to be there ??????

Thanks

Mike

Something else to consider re: ground loop problems. CATV lines are a common source of ground loops if you have a TV connected to the receiver, and a CATV line going into the TV (or VCR or whatever). I had a ground loop problem related to a CATV line, and for some reason I only heard hum or buzzing through the phono system (probably because it's a lower level signal). The problem was solved by inserting a Jensen isomax transformer before the cable box, cost around $50. www.jensentransformers.com
