using the stock sumiko cartridge. it's a sumiko oyster. all connections and everything are properly in place. when i remove the speed box and run just the phono box it works fine without hum. only when the speed box is in the mix. if i have to remove it from the pipeline it's not the end of the world but i like the convenience it provides because i do listen to quite a few 45's.
Humming/Buzzing from Pro-Ject Speed Box II....
hey everyone... hopefully you can give me some insight as to the cause of my problem.
my system is comprised of a pro-ject Xpression III turntable, pro-ject preamp, pro-ject speedbox and peachtree nova amp. everything sounded lovely and worked great until i added the speedbox and now there is a hum as soon as the aux input is engaged... i.e. the needle doesn't have to be down. it's really annoying. i disconnected and reconnected everything but no dice. i moved the pre and speedbox further away from the amp turntable, no dice. any help/suggestions? thanks a lot.
