Turntable/amp problem - Roger Witter - 29-07-2008
Hi!
Can anyone help me? I live in Cape Town, and am desperately looking for someone (private or commercial) who could call around to sort out, or help me, with a small (I think) hi-fi problem. Needs to be a person who still knows about vinyl and turntables!

[COLOR="Purple"]Hi Roger :music:
Welcome to the Buzz.....
Unfortunately Jangar, who I think is the one that will be able to help you, is on holiday somewhere in Italy at the moment.
Hopefully someone else can help in the mean time. [/COLOR]

Thanks man!
I can wait. I've been trying to find someone for the past 2 or more years. Not many people around who know anything about turntables anymore!
What it is, is that a hum occurs as soon as the stylus makes contact with any LP. Seems to be getting worse.
Believe it or not, this is the first time I've ever linked to a forum or tried to blog. Very green! Is Jaguar also a GlobalBuzz member?
I'll see if anyone else responds, but can we keep contact? Or can you suggest further?
Once again, thanks so much for replying!

Jangar actually lives in Denmark - think Duck's idea is better.

Hi Roger and welcome to the forums
What make is the amp?
Turntable/amp problem - Squid_Vicious - 30-07-2008
I remember having a similar problem on record players. It was down to feedback, the needle picking up the vibration off the speakers usually when the bass was turned up a lot or at high volume(or the speakers being too close to the record player). I sorted it out in two ways, cheaper record player just needed a small coin taped on top of the stylus head to weight it a bit (anti-vibration measure) and the better players had a counter weight at the opposite side of the stylus arm which should be adjustable. Hope this helps. :great:
oh yea, if memory serves - record players had an extra ground connection that plugged into the amp - check that too,
