My turntable is quiet when idle, but when you stroke the stylus or on warped lead in there is a buzzing sound like a bumble bee flying next to you ear. It is not there on smooth surfaces. I check ed a friends turntable and its not there on theirs. Any ideas on what is going on?

That sounds like a compliance issue. Mismatch in cartridge mass versus tonearm. I had exactly this on some tracks with my Opus 3 on an RB300 arm. Somehow a 14Hz horizontal flutter kicked in.

I get this high pitched radio wave sound that comes in & out of my tweeters. I can’t hear it unless I turn my gain way up. I still hate it though… & I can’t find anything on this high pitched thing. I don’t get hiss, I get radio rave sound.

Does it sound like a whistle? If so, then you have an oscillation in your phonostage. Does it sound like voices or music? If so, then it is nearby radio getting demodulated by the front end of phonostage.

@@hagerman_amplification It’s like this whining “meep me me meeep meep” noise. Gets more chaotic when I mess with the interconnect from tt to pre amp. New tube on the way. Hopefully that pacifies the problem… edit: seems to get worse as the unit warms up. Again it’s not noticeable when it’s set to normal listening, but I don’t like how it’s an inconsistent noise. Bothers me knowing that my tweeters are taking on a inconsistent signal while sitting in idle. Also no lights flicker on the device & no matter how I ground this unit, it creates a hum. No hum when it’s not grounded. I do have another turn table in my system that is grounded to its own external pre amp. Both turn tables use the same power amp though. Not sure if that’s why. Is it a problem if there is no hum present when it’s not grounded, but hum present when it is grounded?

Have the Hagerman Bugel 3 driving a Pass bride of Zen and Zen amps with Mark Audiio Tozzi speakers -- been dabbling with phono stages since the 1980's with Audio Research and Conrad Johnson preamps and the Bugles are the best bang for the buck for sure ! Have a battery pack I switch in from time to time, and find the Bugle 3 has more inner detail on battery, but less dynamics. YMMV.

@RaviNewfarm 8 ай бұрын

With tube based phono stages you may have good results with screening/shielding the tubes instead of having them fully exposed on the top. With all the gain, the tubes may pick up noise and hum directly from the air. Adding an open grid or spiral made a huge difference in my tube pre. And I can still admire the beautiful tubes through the copper wire screens.

@hagerman_amplification 8 ай бұрын

Not all designs are created equal. This phono employs differential tube stages, hence any noise picked up by the plates will be common mode and mostly rejected. I also place a relatively low impedance EQ network between plates, further reducing noise. Have you ever heard one of these? Noise floor is remarkably good.

I have a big problem with Garrard turntables. All have had hum or static by touching the parts of the unit, including buzzing by touching metal on it. All different receivers I have do it, and 2 Garrard tables have the same problem. All my other tables are perfectly quiet. I think Garrard's just have big issues with this problem and can't do much about it. I thrown out so many Garrard's due to it, I just quit spending money on those.

Got the TUBEKLØN in the mail today. Assembly was quick and easy. Half the time was spent trying to get the protective strip off the felt tape :) The manual could be a little clearer where to put them. I glued one to the top of the case and one to the lid because that made most sense to me. Obviously, I don't have a Klon Centaur for comparison, so the TC Electronic Zeus must do. The problem with the Zeus for me is that it gets a little harsh when the gain is up, because you only get the hard clipping and barely any mixed in dry signal to smoothen it out anymore. Or maybe the Zeus also goes into OpAmp clipping like the NOTAKLÖN. Not sure if the Germanium diodes of the Klon sound better. I will likely never know. The TUBEKLØN generally sounds warmer and rounder, even at high gain thanks to the different clipping characteristics. It also has more output volume in total than the Zeus - not that lack of volume was ever an issue with the Zeus. The TUBEKLØN is a little noisier than the Zeus, but nothing out of the ordinary (the Zeus is actually extremely quiet). The only concern that I have is that the true bypass via the footswitch is prone to creating popping sounds when engaged if I set the output level higher than 1/3 (still above unity gain). If you're concerned about that, you might want to consider using a high quality loop switcher. tl;dr: if you want a warmer sound at high gain, then the TUBEKLØN might be a good alternative for you. If you like the sparkle or prefer to run your Klon as a mid boost at lower gains, you might not need to shed out the extra cash.
