Managed to solve the problem by moving the turntable away from the amplifier. I now use the pre amp with the turntable switch set to off and sounds amazing. Thanks for your help :)

The turntable was a gift and was bought brand new for roughly £150 or so. I understand that the tracking force over time is damaging and I'm hopefully going to grab a different turntable once my budget allows it. Would you have any suggestions on how to ground the preamp though?

I am also in the UK too. How would I go about properly grounding the system to avoid this buzz?

It does go away, but doesn't having that switch on completely negate the purpose of having a separate preamp? Connecting the turntable to a separate preamp is the same as connecting it to a phono input in an integrated amplifier as shown in the manual.

Thank you for your help. I have the switch in the off position when connected to my pre amp and unfortunately still receive a buzzing sound.

Yes I can. It's a Marantz TT5005 turntable

Hi, I currently am experiencing a buzzing sound with my system when no music is playing. My set up is: Marantz Turntable --> Pro-ject Phono Preamp --> Cambridge Audio Amplifier --> Speakers. I have tried to separate the pre amp as far away as possible from any electrical sources and have...

I've noticed that the Magni 2 Uber is a headphone amp and cannot drive speakers. Do you have any suggestions for amps that can drive speakers and headphones (without the optical input)?

Anything you could recommend? Cheers

I'm just a bit conflicted on whether or not to just sell my headphone amp and buy and integrated one (for money purposes) or continue to save towards a power amp.

I was hoping for an amplifier with a built in DAC, such as the Marantz PM6005 or similar. But thank you for your other suggestion too. In terms of the headphones, I am using the Oppo PM3's. As far as I'm aware, they have a very low impedance of 26ohms.

Hi I'm looking at purchasing an amplifier with a budget of around £200-£250. I am looking for an amplifier to have the following requirements: Inputs for a turntable and optical cable Outputs for speakers and headphones Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers :D

I'm only using small Cambridge Audio bookshelf speakers. Looking to upgrade hopefully in the future. But thanks again for all your help :D

I'm looking at this particular set up: Turntable --> Tube Pre Amp --> Power Amplifier --> Speakers. Thank you for your help though :)

Thank you very much for getting back to me in regards to the power amp. Really appreciate your review and I will definitely look into buying this amp!

Cheers. Thank you for your help! :beyersmile:

Would greatly appreciate it if you could. Would these connect to speakers with metal wires (I'm not sure on the correct terminology)?

Hi, I'm looking at purchasing a power amplifier to pair with my tube pre-amp (Little Dot MKII) and speakers (50W-100W). What are the best ones to look at with a limited budget of £200's? Thanks for your help!

I'm looking to upgrade my current setup which is a turntable connected to a Little Dot MKII headphone amplifier (this headphone amp can act as a pre-amp). What I would like to do is to be able to have a system which allows me to connect my turntable, speakers, headphones and PS4 all into one...

Hi. I have recently purchased a LD MKII amp and am looking to change the tubes to the Mullard M8161/CV401 version. However, in the manual it states that this tube type can be used when "the switches are on the side of the E92 label".  I do not understand what this means. Is it compatible with...

Hi All,   I am relatively new to the audiophile/high quality part of music. I am about to purchase the Little Dot MKII Headphone Amp which has a recommended impedance greater than 32 ohms. However, my headphones (Oppo PM3) only have an impedance of 26ohms.   Is it possible to connect my...
