@ericrhodes1 I recommend mesh network instead of running long cable. Shouldn’t interfere with phono stage and you have better coverage around the house.
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?

Good idea @audphile1 I'll look into that. |
Thanks for asking the question. I have a similar problem with my phono preamp. However, my sound is no heard through my speakers. It’s a high pitched sound coming from the preamp (McIntosh MP100) itself. I’ve been able to isolate the sound to the preamp. It’s a relatively new purchase that I bought with a new McIntosh MT 10 Turntable… I’ve read the string here and will try some of the solutions suggested to you. The high pitched sound is barely noticeable but I do hear it, others don’t hear it at all. However, I have always had a keen sense of hearing that hasn’t waned much in my 72 years...The sound stops only when the unit is turned off. |
@gjfalls Sorry to here that. What a bummer! Too late for an exchange? |
Thanks! Since I bought it new and ordered from one of the reputable audio websites I will return it for a replacement after trying some of the remedies afforded you don’t work, albeit being a slightly different problem or give up on using a phono preamp and try running the turntable through my system’s primary preamp, which is a McIntosh C2600. |
