I have the new Nagaoka Mp 500 cart installed on my Techniques 1200G turntable connected to my Luxman 595 amp. When I turn the volume up, I hear a hum in the speakers. If I remove the cart from the arm, the hum goes away so I know it's the cart. It's with the original Techniqs head shell. I didn't have the issue with the Oltofon 2m Black LVM cart.
Aside from that, I like the MP 500 a lot. Sounds good. But I am freaking out... not sure what to do about the hum grounding noise?!?
On my luxman, I have both the turntable and the REL sub on the ground in the photo.
