Hum Help! Clearaudio Concept/GS Era Gold/GS Solo

Does it come with a cable from the turntable to the era gold, if so are they shielded, most hum issues are from unshielded cables.

You can also minimise hum by the layout of you cables, are there any psu wires near your pickup cables?

Did you buy all the components from the same dealer? perhaps you should speak to him if you did.

Not a member of that forum so cannot see the cables.

 Try not to have any power cables running in parallel and close by  your tone arm cables.

Are you able to loosen the plugs on the cable end that plugs into the era gold?  My father had some hum and it turned out that the shield connection had broken in one of the plugs.

Some other things you can try to pin down the source is to try wrap each of the leads from the turntable with some tin foil and see if this alters things; not sure this one actually does anything  but  ( and don't tell Graham  he has criticised this practice by makers)  since some cable makers weave interconnects to try and reject noise it maybe worth a try, it's not a solution but may change things. Hold the weave with a bit of tape or a rubber band at either end, you can see what I mean if you search the internet, since this is a manufacturers site and GSP sell their own shielded cables it would be unfair to post links links to other manufacturers cables.

If you are able to change the cable make sure it is shielded and is low capacitance as I understand this also affects the sound of any phono cartridge to any phono stage.

If you got all the parts from the same dealer I feel he should be a little more helpful and he should be able to tell you how to change the cable.
