I find the phono input very quiet, at least by the standards of normal phono stages. How loud is this white noise exactly? I presume you are using the Master phono inputs, not the Companions? This one is very puzzling.
Thanks to both replies above.
Noise is wide spectrum, stereo and occurs at -9 db even when no cables are connected to the phono input on master.
I created a phono input on the companion, same thing! Both unit fed from a Panamax unit.
On other inputs there is no noise at all.
I'm baffled because this is a new phenomena.
Hi
My D200 does this as well - as Confused says this is due to the high gain required for very low output moving coils.
I found the same if turned up to unlistenable levels as well. If I tried to play my systems at the level this showed I would be pinned against the back of my room by a wall of sound !!!!
