I finally figured out. What a numbskull I am. I was using a screw on the turntable that turned out not to be a good ground. After testing continuity with my meter I discovered the problem. All is well now and my beogram sounds incredible.

Thanks for the help Chris!!

Thanks for the fast response Chris,

I have a ground wire connected directly from the turntable chassis to the reciever chassis but still get the same hum. I can hear minor "crackling" when I first attached the wire, does that mean it is a good or bad ground connection?

Any other ideas will be appreciated. This is frustrating.

Hi Coho and welcome to Beoworld.

It sounds most likely that your beogram isn't earthed (grounded) via the adaptor cable. Simply run a earth/ground wire from the turntable chassis or the shielding on the Din plug to your receiver.

Beogram 5500 Speaker Hum - HELP!!!

I have a Beogram 5500 turntable and have purchased the 5 pin to RCA adapter cable so I can connect it to my Yamaha AV reciever I am having to run it through a phono preamp because my reciever does not have a phono input. Anyways, I am getting a speaker hum that is noticable between tracks and it increases with the volume. I have the ground wire connected to my reciever chassis but the pesky speaker hum remains. I have tried everything I can think of and was really hoping someone has had a similar experience and could share any advice for me .

Thanks in advance........Coho in Alaska
