robforst1 Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 I am having a problem with my turntable (or cable or preamp). Sometimes when I turn the record over, the sound coming out of my left channel stops. In order to correct this, I unplug the left channel cable going to my preamp and plug it back in. This seems to 'reset' the problem. Does anyone know if it is my interconnect, preamp or something else that may be causing this problem. I am using a Music Hall MMF-5 with a Quicksilver Tube Phone Preamp... Thanks for any help or advise! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynnm Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 Rob How do you like that Antique Sound Labs MG-SI15DT ? Have you checked the wiring from the cartridge to the TT's O/P's ? Try swapping the cables from the TT to the amp also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 Doesn't the MMF-5 come with a detachable Interconnect where you could swap it out the MMF-7 does. If it does try a different interconnect and if the problem is still there I would say its the preamp most likely right at the input into the preamp.

robforst1 Posted March 11, 2003 Author Share Posted March 11, 2003 The amp is awesome! It is amazing how loud and clean a couple of SET amps can be. It powers a pair of Heresys perfectly. I am a big fan of ASL equipment...good value for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artto Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 I really hate to say this.....but possibly its the wires in the tonearm or where they are attached to the cartridge. I had a problem like that recently & it was a pain-in-the-***. Just thought I'd mention it. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robforst1 Posted March 16, 2003 Author Share Posted March 16, 2003 At the suggestion of someone from Quicksilver Audio (makers of my tube phono preamp), switched the left and right cables from my tt to the preamp and to the amp and it fixed the problem! I am not sure why this would make a difference...but I am happy it worked!!! Does anyone know why this would make a difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
