Oh sheesh...
OK, I have a Dual CS 5000 (specs: http://www.compassnet.com/concept/tables/5000.htm ) that I am hooking up to my JMT Altoid via a "Li'l Rat" RadioShack phono preamp.
There is a big ol' hum whenever I turn the JMT on. The hum is there whether the turntable is on or off, but when it's on, the pitch changes somewhat.
I am a relative newbie with turntables.
The cartridge on it is an older Grado F3Z or something like that (a universal mount one). I have the table grounded via it's ground wire to a metal filing cabinet. I figured this would be better than the back of an integrated amp (one of which I haven't).
Can anyone help?
Best,
Matt
