Greg - apparently your "retailer" is not aware of the fact that a phono cartridge operates at a FAR lower output level than other audio components ( cd player, tape deck, etc). It is for these other components that the TRansparent ML Plus was designed. Because the phono signal level is so low compared to the 2V "standard" for other audio components, the hum is created. Get yourself a decent set of phono specific interconnects and ditch the Transparents ( and the retailer as well)
Transparent Cable Humming
I have a pair of Transparent Music Link Plus cables hooked up to my Thorens TD 126 MKIII and McIntosh MA2275. I get a fairly loud humming noise in one channel. I switched the cables to the standard cheap ones and voila! no more noise.
I returned the cables to my retailer for another pair since we both assumed that the cables were defective.
The replacement set has the same problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
