I have a Rega Planar 2 (purchased Dec 2017) and had been using a Ortofon MC-3 Turbo with great success with no buzzing and is really quiet. I recently bought a Nagaoka M-150 to play and it initially played great until I noticed a bad buzzing noise I can't resolve. I mainly use my Schiit Mani on my Rega, but I tried my Cambridge Audio Azur 551p and ART DJ PreII and still get buzzing. The guy I bought it from said it may lack a some sort of ground strap like the AT carts have? I'm thinking it may partly be due to the Planar 2 specifically having internally grounded RCA cables and has no external grounding at all. It sounds best on my Mani using MC settings, but when I set it to MM it sounds severely muffled. The buzzing is very audible until the music starts. Any ideas?
