Just breaking in my Project Debut 3 turntable. Nice sound but there is
a lot of turntable noise. Its been a while since I've used a turntable
in anger but I don't remember this much noise on my old Dual 505.

I've uploaded a small mp3 clip (about 10secs) here
http://lordy.org.uk/rising_to_the_top_-_keni_burke.mp3 (*)

The background noise is only present when the stylus hits the vinyl - so
I guess its not a ground issue? Does it sound excessive?

Strange - it's mainly hum which would suggest a ground problem, although
it would be nice if the clip included a bit before the stylus was lowered.
It's possible to get induced hum on the cartridge from the turntable motor
which doesn't show with the pickup on the rest.

Can't you find a CD of this performance? ;-)
