Hi All,
I recently got a Cambridge Audio Azur 351r receiver and decided to set up my REGA RP6 turntable w/ REGA Exact cartridge on this receiver. Phono Stage is the little Music Hall PA1.2.
When the stylus drops on the record, it's dead silent. However, a couple of min. into the record, I start to get random LOUD pop's in the right channel. When I lift the stylus from the record, the pop is very loud in the right channel.
The phono amp is not grounded as the receiver does not have a designated Gound lug. There is no HUM or other noise, just that loud POP which is driving me crazy. I asume it's a static charge...but how do I cear it up?
Thanks all,
Joey

In my experience this can be a issue with your Rega Exact(2). I have seen this before with Rega cartridges, the suspension of the cartidge gets stuck or sticks in one channel or the other (I think), but generally you only get some mild pops when the cartridge is lifted off the LP. If this does not happen with another phono preamp, then there can be some ground issue which is odd... Rega grounds thier arms through the left channel ground lead IIRC... maybe some odd static issue needs the right channel grounded to the arm tube too. I assume you have tried swapping L&R phono leads into the reciver to confrim the problem moves to the other channel?
Hope this helps
Happy Listening,

Thanks for responding...
after testing some more, it looks like the problem is the Amp, not the turntable or phono stage. When the amp is in Analog Stereo Direct mode, the CD player, Turntable, and Tape Machine all make this POPPING sound and it seems to be at the musical peaks. Will be sending back to MD for a replacement.
Thanks again...
