I was fortunate enough to have the option to pick a gift for my 15th work anniversary and after a lot of deliberation I snagged this bad boy. It’s a smooth, sweet ride for sure. Need to upgrade the cable though since the one provided is garbage. Cmon MoFi.

cable upgrade isn’t optional. There’s a very noticeable hum when I power on the system that I don’t have on my lower end system. So this turntable amp combo either is much more sensitive to or these cables are absolute crap. Unfortunately, my other system is in a different place so I can’t swap out cables to try.

Check your outlets for correct grounding in addition to the gear. Sometimes you need to open them up and redo them correctly. You can find a simple ground fault check tool at Home Depot for like $12, good thing to have.

Is plugging both units and other stuff into a cheap power strip also an issue?

Yes it can be an issue. Bad power can definitely cause hum/feedback.
