Solid state or tube phono stages?
Another "kinda-newbie" head scratcher
No matter what Phonostage I use, no matter which cartridge or cables, I get an annoying distortion sound from my speakers kind of like the sound of AM in between stations if anyone here is old enough to remember that sound. Doesn't happen on the digital side.
Any ideas?

@grinnell Shielded Cardas, no tuner, grounded, solid state Phonostages @audphile1 I'll check that tomorrow. Thanks |
@audphile1 it makes that sound even without the needle on the vinyl, whether the turntable is on or off. Only when I turn off the phonostage (any of the three I own) . |
@billstevenson same. I even used a balanced pair into the linestage and still got 80% of the noise. It's weird. |
