I started there. It didn't remove very many clicks if I go by all the clicks I can still hear.

The Audacity remove clicks worked better, not foolproof, on another album.

If you haven't already, you can adjust the sensitivity. Even at the highest it has missed clicks on my most damaged vinyl, usually bought at thrift. Good luck.

I thought I still held the world record for laziness, but I thought wrong.

Nah. i think you’re still safe…

Classic. I'm a Wes Montgomery man myself but GG is right there.

Viva Pat Metheny! I like Wes M, and Grant G., too, and listen to their work.

How on-tune is the whistling? Phrased another way, how much beer needed to endure it?

How long ago did you install your cartridge? If it's been a while, you might try just removing/replacing the tonearm wires from the back of the cartridge (or if it's a P-mount, pull it off and put it back on). At the millivolt signal level at that juncture, even a little oxidation can cause issues and simply refreshing the contact points may help.

Removed and reseated them this week to double check connection.

You're correct re unrolling from the top.
The correct way is front facing un-roll.
That is fact, not opinion.*

*joke - it's opinion

Well there ya have it!

And yet another piece of info that I had no idea was on the interwebs ... I wonder what ChatGPT has to say about it ...

EDIT : This...
The debate over whether toilet paper should roll over the top or down the back is largely a matter of personal preference and convenience. There isn't a universally "correct" way to load toilet paper, as it ultimately depends on individual preferences. However, there are some arguments in favor of each orientation:

1. Over the Top:
   • Generally considered more intuitive and easier to grab the loose end.
     May be less likely to brush against the wall, which can be perceived as more hygienic.
     Some argue it looks tidier.
2. Down the Back:
   • Less likely to unravel accidentally, especially in households with pets.
     Can be preferred for aesthetic reasons in certain bathroom designs.

Ultimately, the best way to load toilet paper is the way that makes you and others in your household most comfortable. It might be worth having a discussion with those you share the space with to reach a consensus. Keep in mind that in public spaces or shared environments, the direction may be determined by whoever is responsible for maintaining the restroom.

Holy Schiit Sherlock it just hit me!!!

It's a day late, but it just all came together and now it makes sense.
All these years with my Yggy and never used the invert phase button. Now I finally know what it's for!!!

Yep, for when you want your music to SUCK instead of BLOW...

Does all this reverse down under? Pun not intended, but I'll roll with it.

Orbit U-Turn Plus with cart upgraded to Ortofon 2M series. Have both Blue and Red stylus for the cart, hum is on both, FWIW.

Per U-Turn, “The Orbit is internally grounded through the shielding of the left RCA output, so no external ground wire is needed (even if your phono preamp has a ground screw or terminal).”

+1 that the prob is likely in the TT. Some insight into tiny?? black grounding wire on pg2 of this link https://www.vinylengine.com/turntable_forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=82645&start=12

Could the hum be mechanical as opposed to electrical? Motor vibration transmitted to the plinth or to the platter and being picked up by the cartridge?

Thanks for this. I reached out to u-turn, and want to hear from them before I think about digging around inside the tone arm.

I’m open to all possibilities. I know that’s it supposed to happen, but something is up.

Up this afternoon: Ike Quebec’s last album, “Soul Samba”. It‘s a relaxed and relaxing listen. The NOS Amperex ECC88 tubes in the Freya N have about 20 hours on them and make all the jazz that I’ve listened to so far sound warm and wonderful.

One of my favorite albums!

No. Mechanical vibration is not 60 Hz hum and it is not amplified as witnessed by increasing volume.

Best of luck sorting it out. These types of issues can be VERY frustrating. It took me months to sort out my hum issue with my Pro-ject Carbon DC. It was both mechanical and electrical -- crappy grounding of their DC power supply and the over-all crappy motor suspension. It was no fun.
