Fix hum noise?
Hi, I would like to know if anyone had this problem.
When I put the needle on the record, with the TT and AMP turned on I get a weird HUM that can be listened if I turn up the volume a bit or if you listen with headphones.
I have the ground wire correctly connected from the TT to the AMP and the TT is above the AMP with a wood board between them. Picture
The AMP is an Acoustic Solutions SP101 and the TT is a Stanton T60.
It happens even if the record isnt spinning. Anyone knows what can be the cause ?

Most likely a grounding problem or 2 connections crossing.
Well the ground wire is correctly connected on both sides. What do you mean by 2 connections crossing?
Make sure everything is in phase with everything else, so positive to positive and negative to negative.
What kind of cart do you have on your table right now? Some carts are more sensitive to electrical interference than others. I'm not too familiar with the guts of stantons, so I can't attest to whether they're prone to such interference or not. I can say you ought to clean your table though :P
Dont know which cart it is, it is the one that came with the TT.

Just try removing the ground wire. Grounding problems can happen when there is no reference to ground, but more often when there are too many competing ground references.
