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

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

Cheers,
Lordy

Cheaper than the RicherSounds Vivanco pre-amp.

**OK, first mistake: The Debut is already fitted with a phono preamp. It can
only be used with a line level input. I apologise if I have misunderstood
what you are trying to do, but you should be connecting your Debut directly
to an AUX, or line input. If you are still having problems, then look for
external interference sources, make sure you are using a 16 Volt AC power
supply (very important!) and that cartridge wiring is correct.
