RF interference through my phono stage.


I've noticed I can hear faint radio signals through my amp when the phono input is selected. I do not have a tuner at the moment so I know it's not coming from my system. What can I do to eliminate or minimize this problem?

I'm willing to get a line filter/conditioner if it would help, but only if it's reasonably priced.

Chris_383,

If the RFI is something that has started lately and seems to have gotten worse the problem could be simply a corroded signal ground connection on an ic or even a signal ground pin connection on the cartridge. Try unplugging and plugging in the ics in the phono input jacks a few times and see if that helps. If the TT has phono jacks check them as well. Also check the connections on the cartridge
