| i have searched this forum and only found info on checking the wires and making sure that they are grounded--which my boyfriend has done. the hum is only coming from one turntable and i switched them around, tried hooking up to every channel and still a hum. I unhooked every wire 100 times over my speaker equipment is very small so I don't think that is the problem. The only thing i can think is wrong is the ground wire but it is new? can it be the needle? help? this sucks? help? :conf: :( :confused: |

Is it perfectly connected to the right ground point on your mixer? Are the DIN wires(the red and the white wires next to the gnd wire) good? What needle have you got?
I think, the problem lies with the pca wires... Some brands dare to give you pretty bad cables. I replaced them for both the tt's i've got. |

| i think we figured out the problem........we took the needle out and did it over again, and now it works.....we didn't get really good needles yet..........we have stantons and they were $100 for both....i am guessing that we should work on getting good needles....what does anyone recommend?? also, is it a good idea to replace the wires?? where do you get them?? |

| Bia, apparently the best needles/cartridges for the money are Shure Whitelabels. I haven stanton's as well, meh...let's just say I'm saving up for the Whitelabel's. |

save the cash and get a set of shure M44Gs, they sound about the same and you should save enough cash for a big ole case of beer... or other libations ;)
they also dont look so flashy :D |

i use M44-7 and i've never had any feedback with it....i placed the turntable not too close to my speakers, and all i got was a little feedback in my subwoofer....
if i'll ever get some gig to play at, i'll buy myself a feedback destroyer and bring it everytime!!! |

| My Numarks do the same thing. The Left one humms but the right one doesn't. |
