Hiss / buzz , how to get rid of?

[Soniclife]

I wonder, are we investigating this wrong. If we needle drop the noise and share it we should hear exactly what each other are hearing? This would be like virtually moving TTs and the settings in use for them around the world. If we have 2 or more people with the same cart and settings but get different results it suggests variability in the stages, if they are the same variance in tolerance.

Thoughts?

It will be a few days before I can record something, not the best time of year for nerdy activities in the lounge.
