Just got a brand new turntable that I am running into my PC in order to convert some old vinyl to MP# and/or CD.
I have this 60Hz hum that I cannot get rid of. the plug is not grounded and there is a grounding block on the back of the TT. When I touch the grounding block, the hum lessens and if I touch the mixer, it disappears almost completely. I have run a wire from the block to the chassis of the mixer and it got rid of some of it but not all and presently the recordings i am making are unusable. Even noise reduction on AA doesn't work.
What can I do to get rid of this hum? Do I need to ground it directly to the power outlet, or is there another solution?
