    Default Rega TT power adaptor buzz?

    Hi All
    Just purchased a Rega RP2 the TT sounds great but the power adaptor plug has an annoying buzz which is quite loud & I have to unplug each time. I’m not sure whether this is a fault, or whether this buzz has developed or was there at the start?
    This buzz is completely isolated to the adaptor as Iv plugged into a separate source disconnected from the TT
    Has anyone with a Rega TT experienced this? Is there a fault with the adaptor? The adaptor looks pretty cheep so was wondering if there would be a better upgrade adaptor?
    Cheers
    Marc

    Is this a new turntable? If so, I'd ask for a replacement 'wall wart' power adaptor or send the whole thing back if that was not forthcoming. It shouldn't be noisy.

    No. It's what you've got. 'Wall Wart' is just the nickname these things have.

    If you bought it from a Rega retailer, ask for a replacement wall wart, as they don't buzz.

    I think I went through 2 or 3 before getting one that only buzzed a little. More or less everything buzzes in my house. The dealer was helpful throughout, have to say: I think they sent me an upgraded one in the end.
