Loud humming and lack of volume sounds like a loose connection at the cartridge. Check the leads where the cart mounts to the tonearm. Also check the connections at the turntable's ouput connection.
turntable/preamp problem
i have a Lyra Dorian LOMC cartridge which i have had for 3 yrs. i have had phono stages by Musical Fidelity and Sutherland always with integrated amps. Recently switched to separates, a Blueberry extreme preamp and a Red Wine Audio 30.2 amp. the extreme has both mc and mm phono stages built in. with the Dorian i have had difficulty getting sufficient volume and have very weak bass coming from my subwoofer at any sound level. I have just added a PS Audio GCPH figuring i would have more options for gain etc. Have tried every combo of impedance and gain and even with volume control on the bluberry all the way up can barely hear a thing,also experiencing loud humming. Can someone offer advice before i give up on analogue. Is it the cartridge or Blueberry. Dont think its the phonostage .
pls anyone help.
