If anyone has more advices, it would be really appreciated.
Could a pre-amp fix that or is it the turntable fault? Or maybe my room electric installation?Īnyway thanks again. The main issue I have with my turntable is the background noise, like some sort of white noise due to the ground wire which, I think, is not very good. I have no phono pre-amp as I had a phono input on the main Sony amplifier. You know, to have a shiny one: the Technics in is very good shape though. So to complete these, I want a good sounding turntable and I have this Technics SL-3300 that I wanted to replace with a brand new one in the first place. It seems pretty good to me and in my budget. Anyway as this is cheap setup, I was thinking of buying something a little better: a Marantz CD-6004 CD Player coupled with a Marantz PM-6004 amplifier. It has also an annoying trebly noise when it plays some CDs. I was quite happy with my Sony components for many years until recently: my CD Player has much more trouble to load CDs and sometimes just ignore them. I never suggested you spend 300-500 on a turntable, and I and others have given you specific suggestions on what Technics decks to look for that won't cost you 3-500. I had some good Pioneers speakers that I replaced recently with some JBL ES80 that I absolutely love. Speakers is where you should spend most of your money, followed by the cartridge/turntable set up. In fact I have a Sony TA-FE370 amplifier and a Sony CDP-XE370 CD player as my main setup. To be perfectly honest, I have multiple issues with my setup that I'd like to correct but I'm saving money to do it. I am surprised at how important having a 'table perfectly level affects sound quality. Two things worth noting-get the stylus overhang exact and make sure that the 'table is on a solid, steady surface that is perfectly level.
#Technics turntable troubleshooting upgrade
Upgrading the cartridge and phono preamp will be much more cost effective in the upgrade path than swapping out the turntable. Others here will chime in as regards similar products, but these items are safe bets and easy to get your mitts on. in Equipment,General Info,Repair & Maintenance,Troubleshooting Problems with a record player or turntable can often be traced back to a small number of root causes, and one area that is always worthy of a close check is the tonearm. You have provided no info concerning your phono preamp, but if you have a vintage receiver than it would be a good idea to upgrade the sound with a modern phono pre, like those that Cambridge Audio makes. I like it better than the Stanton 500 on display in the link you provided.
If you like "bright", try an Audio Technica 120e cartridge, a very sweet sounding model, not quite as bright as the AT 440 and an excellent tracker for around $100.
