Loud Hum Through speakers when playing Dual Turntable
I'm very close to upgrading my system, mainly to play Vinyl, but will have to start with either an amp or turntable.
As mentioned previously, I have a Dual 505 turntable and a Cambridge Audio Azur 540A amp, which has a gentle hum when turned up to 3/4 power, which was necessary to hear vinyl records even via a preamp, but not for CD via my Monitor Audio Bronze B2 speakers.
I was very close to deciding that the amp was the first thing to upgrade, but today, while playing the turntable the gentle hum became a very loud buzz through the RH speaker. This stopped when I put the tonearm back on its rest and did not happen at all with the CD.
Am I right to think, now, that the problem is in fact with the turntable? In which case, that's the first upgrade to make?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Stephen
