Yep, the tone arm is connected to the lid, so hard to tell what's happening. I haven't tested the ground wire, but that sounds like a good idea. Nothing happens when I wiggle the ground cable during play, but when I touch the ends of the ground cable, I can hear some disturbance. I have newish turn table (cheap one off ebay) that works perfectly fine. It has an amp built into it, will anything go wrong if I plug that into the photo input on my stereo?

Good advice. I'll try that on the weekend

What would you advise to move around with this setup?

Yep, prob 16Hz, I can't read my EQ properly because it's up on a high shelf. If it's feedback, I wonder why the Isolation Filter didn't fix it. It worked well on my Yamaha system. Just tried taking the ground in/out (it seemed to be installed correctly) and no effect on reinstalling it. Any advice on dealing with resonance/feedback? Is it caused by the stepdown transformer potentially?

There's a ground wire coming out of the the back of the turntable, I've connected that to the ground on the amp. No idea if it's working. I didn't realise it, but according to the manual, the ground wire is removable to the turntable (i thought it was inbuilt). I'll try plugging it in/out tonight and see if that works

Not sure, but on the my EQ, when i check out the spectrum analyzer, that specific noise shows up as a small vibration at the 16KHZ bar. I don't think my turn table is to close to the turn table, as I have them on a separate shelf below. I'll see if i can get a photo and post.

I wish I could tell, but it's one of these linear tracker turn tables, so I can't physically drop the stylus to see. There's a play button, and it automatically plays the record. My options are tracks 1-8, 'cueing', stop and play. The Stylus is attached to the top lid, so you can't really play with it much.

I've got an SLJ-33 Technics turntable. This is a Linear track, in very good condition. When I connect it to my amp, and select phono on the amp, there's no noise. However, when I press play, and the needle goes down, I start to hear the humming noise just before the record starts to play. The louder I have my speakers, the more I can hear the humming I purchased a Galvanic Isolation Filter from Jaycar, which removed a whistling noise from a Yamaha amp to a jukebox I have, but has the opposite effect when I use it on my Technics system. I actually get the humming noise

Hi, I recently got a Technics Hifi system from 1985, just recently serviced. Looking to get some advice on some bits and pieces
