My Kenwood KA-8100 is not playing well with my turntable. When I select phono-1 or phono-2 without the turntable plugged in, there is a slight hiss. And it's only really noticeable when I turn it up past three quarters max volume. When I plug my turntable into either phono1 or phono2 inputs, there is a very noticeable humm that starts at low-volume. There is no ground wire on the turntable.
I have recently connected a sub woofer to the system using speaker wire connections. This seems to have made the humm worse.
The other input selections are very clean. Whether I have components hooked to them or not, there is no hiss or humm at any volume.
What tricks can I try!?
