**OK, first mistake: The Debut is already fitted with a phono preamp. It
can only be used with a line level input.

**Oh yeah. Make certain the MC/MM switch is correctly set.

Hi Trevor, after a bit of Googling, it looks like you have the "Phono
Speedbox"
edition ??

**I don't own one, I just fix 'em. All of the Debuts I see are fitted with
an internal phono preamp.

Do they have speed controls too?

Anyhow it looks like there are different flavours from that web page.

I did a bit of experimenting, I removed the belt,
the noise only occurs when the motor is on and the needle is either
in the groove, or outside the groove and not moving tangentially/skating.

I then took a record I didnt care much for, put the stylus on it, and
lifted the record clear of the turntable. I still had the noise,
so I guess as you say its electrical problem and not mechanical.

Over in avforums some other people have mentioned this hum, but no
indepth feedback yet!
