Rega Planar 3


Well, just picked up a Rega Planar 3 last week at my local shop. Really started to like it with the stock cartridge until I noticed a hum that got louder as I move the tonearm closer to the spindle.
Dropped it off at the shop, they agreed their is a hum. They changed the cartridge, same hum. They are contacting Rega Monday to figure it out.
Hope this tt wasn't a mistake.Anyone else hear of this?

Have a Rega RP3 and have the same problem. I have just learned to live with it. I have a Rega Exact cartridge. Not long ago there was a post on this problem and as far as I know was never resolved. My hum is not loud and I really don't notice it unless I move the tonearm to the center and turn the volume up. I don't notice it when playing a record but still I know it must be there. My solution saving for a  JA Michell TecnoDec hoping I can use the RB 303 tonearm. If you find out what's causing this please post i would love to know what Rega says.
