Hi guys,
Had 2 questions
1) When aligning the cartridge do I align the cartridge itself or the stylus? The stylus is sort of off center so I just aligned that. The entire cartridge is off but the stylus looks straight.
2) Grounding. I have a Yaqin tube amp and definitely get a buzz sound (even when it's NOT on). Is it something else (if it's not on?) Also : What's the proper ground 'path'? I have the Technics grounded to the pre-amp which is grounded to the wall (via the power cable). My amp is also grounded to the wall. Am I doing anything wrong here? Is a ground loop isolator necessary? Thanks.
