Amp/Preamp Asylum Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here. |

In case anyone cares or wonders what happened in a future search of the AA archives.
I was able to try the experiment using my SL1200 and two Cambridge 651P's along with some custom adapter cables I made.
I just couldn't get rid of the hum wired up this way. It wasn't especially bad hum but I wouldn't say running like this bought me anything though. I really can't see any point in leaving it like this now that I tried it.
I tried and tried getting the hum to go away Even despite my adapter cable build keeping everything STP in the cabling as much as possible only utilizing short as possible stubby STP + XLR to coax + RCA y cable converter adapter cables right at the connectors on the back of the phono pres.
I feel like if there was any advantage to running like this I would have seen it. I'm abandoning the concept now.
