[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 884127, member: 199791"] I think there's a few in Newcastle, but I've not been to look yet, just been enjoying using the Discogs site buying the three records I have now... :) See if you can find a Pro-ject phono preamp, or a Cambridge Audio, the cheaper preamps will tend to be, well, cheaper, in quality and price, and apparently the better preamps use an AC-AC wallwart, so the amp has all the AC to DC inside the case reducing the noise problem, though I did seem to pick up mains hum on my CA540P but moving wires about away from mains cabling dealt with that... In the interim you could try connecting your preamp directly to ground (nearest radiator pipe, screw on a mains socket, chassis of a computer, etc.), loosen a screw on it's case (assuming it's metal of course), wrap a bit of wire round it, and connect the other end to an earthing point of some description... :) [/QUOTE]
