Hi,
I have been trying to figure out why I hear a buzz while my inputs are connected to my pre-amp (same issue while connected to my vinyl player). I thought it could be a ground looping issue which could be the cause of the issue, and I have been looking at getting a ground loop isolator, and I have been experimenting. For example, I know my computer audio is far better than the issue I am having, so I thought, why not use the audio jack to ground to see if that helps? I have noticed that using this has nearly gone I hear the noise but only very faintly. I will be rewiring my record players' tonearm wire (because of how long the wire is (1999) with copper instead of silver bc I know that it's more durable than silver, but I also understand that copper has a higher resistance than silver, so I am a little torn on whether or not to use copper or silver.
I am wondering what everyone else thinks about this issue. The vinyl player is grounded, and there are no open circuits as far as I know, and the wire used (Phono/RCA) is high-quality wire.
