Has anyone experienced hum/buzz with these tonearms?:confused:

If so, what is the remedy?

regards, Mark

    Are you saying the turntable has no ground wire or just the tonearm? Also, what kind of cartridge are you using? Some Grado's are notorious for having a buzz/hum.

    No, I haven't purchased the tonearm yet; merely anticipating problems...

    No problems.
