Hello everyone, I've had a NW-55 for about 6 months and had been perfectly happy with it, but it's not longer recharging or connecting to my PC. I've tried different cables (have two since I had a NW-15 before), tried using an adapter to charge it with a wall wart, but no luck, the player won't...

Castleofargh's suggestion (cleaning the headphone jack and spinning it in the player) seems to have done the trick. Thanks for the help everyone.

  I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're referring to when you say "the HD25's cables plug into the capsules rather than the jack".

Thanks for the replies, guys.   I've used the NWZ pretty ginglerly. It's usually upside down in a pocket (ie the headphone jack is facing the pocket's opening, not its bottom), the rest of the time, it's sitting on a desk. It's made a couple of short sojourns in a bag, but doubt it suffered...

Hello all,   I bought a NWZ A-16 two months ago to replace a series of Sansa Clip +s who had all developped headphone jack problems when used with a Sennheiser HD-25.   I'm worried that the Sony player might be headed the same way as moving the headphone cable is now producing noise (it did...

  Thanks, I see what you mean now. I'll take a look.   That said, given I had the exact same hum or ringing sound with my brother's Rega 1 table when I tried it on my system, I suppose it's unlikely to be a bad connection ?

  Cartridge leads seem fine, but I'll give them a closer look.   I'm not sure I understand that last bit, however : "on the bottom remove the cover under the tonearm and check those connections". Could you be more precise ? A quick glance shows nothing that's removable.

  Thing is, I'm liable to get my "hum" (if you listen to the video I posted, you'll notice that word might not be the best description) even when the TT is unplugged and the motor's not turning.

  I've picked up a ohmmeter. I'll check things out once I figure out how to get it working.   No way I'm dismantling the tonearm however : way beyond my pathetic skills. I'd much rather send the thing back and seek out an alternative TT if I have to.

Hello all, A while back, I wrote about a hum problem that I had trouble with. Since I'm still suffering from it, I thought I'd post back. I've copied my first below, with my intial findings.   As suggested by Skylab, I looked at power conditionners, but found none that would make sense from...

I am, alas, woefully ignorant of electricity matters. I have no idea whether I live close to a powerline or not, and don't know how I could find this out either.   Likewise, I don't know if my amp is properly grounded or not. I only know that its cord has a ground slot and that my surge...

Thanks. I've tried looking around for the Humbuster you mentionned. No luck. Is there anything else, in production, you could recommend ? Preferably available in Europe ?   Would something like this be adequate : http://www.furmansound.com/product.php?div=03&id=M-10xE ?

  As suggested, I spent a couple of hours with PC, monitor and DAc unpluuged (TT, phono preamp and amp were all that was left on the Belkin, nothing else).  The first hour or so was very fine, blissfully hum-free. The second hour less so. Got the dreaded hum. At one point, it coincided with a...

  Alright, will do so tomorrow (pretty late here now). Thanks ! 

Thanks for the help. I did think that hearing the hum on two different turntables was enough to let Pro-ject "off the hook".   The TT's plugged into a Belkin Surgemaster. Does that qualify as a power condiotioner / filter ? (I believe the manufacturer claims the Surgemaster offers a measure of...
