I had a Pioneer VSX-305 I got for $9 for my turntable. Pretty crappy....loud buzz (and I do mean LOUD) came through my speakers every time I plugged into the phono jack. Would like to fix it so I can sell it but I don’t know anything about wiring admittedly. That’s why I bought a new receiver. Too bad that one doesn’t work either now oh well.
Yep, just a turntable, connected the ground as well. The funny thing is, if I adjust the RCA cables’ position it stops. So not sure. But regardless, I’m getting my new receiver returned within the next week which doesn’t have this problem.Did you plug a turntable into the phono jack? The Phono jack is only for turntables. Other input devices like CD players, tape decks output line level signal which is way to high for a phono input. If you are plugging a turntable into the Phono input on the receiver you probably need to connect the ground wire from the turntable to the ground lug on the receiver. The loud buzz could be ground 'hum'.

How did the sound change after the re-cap?
Yep, bit more clarity and helped clear up the mid bass a little.
