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?

@audphile1 I got the long fiber run. Digital side is up and running. Sounding better than ever. I'll reinstall the Sutherland tomorrow and post my results then. 

Gjfalls , if the high pitched noise coming from your Mac does not contaminate the music coming from speakers, then it is likely of an entirely different cause, compared to the OP’s issue. Most likely a bad component inside your preamp. If the MP100 uses tubes, could be a very microphonic tube.i

@ericrhodes1 excellent! Glad to hear you resolved it all. 
how’s the sound with the Vibe compared to Parks?
