KROCK Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Greetings, I recently purchased a Thorens 126 mkiii, & I having problem with feedback from my rca cables to my receiver. The TT has the t16 tone arm & tp63 head. I just installed a Ortofon super 40. When I move or rotate the rca's the hum gets loader. I tried relocating the ground wire, but its the same problem. Does anyone know how difficult it is to change the cables myself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply. I previously read 3 of the 4 links you sent me. I'm going to check the new cartridge. I did my research & a lot of Thorens owners use them.
