    Hey all, I have a Rega P3 and it's always had a bit of a hum. I've spent hours looking up the fix and have gone as far as to open up the tonearm, decouple the ground from the left channel and give it a dedicated separate ground wire. Didn't help. Hum is still there. Here's what i've noticed...

    input bleed on a preamp/integrated

    Hey guys, I have a question regarding preamp/integrated inputs. My buddy has a very expensive Don Sachs preamp, and I noticed the inputs bleed from one to another. In other words, when he has a source going in input 1, but his preamp is set to input 2, you can hear sound coming out that that...
