Beomaster 8000 PHONO Noisey
12 replies
In my experience all this is pretty normal. When a strong station is tuned in the phono input gets some stray signal from the tuner input in the preamp section. The issue is that the tuner stays on when phono is selected. I simply program one of the presets to a 'white noise station' and select that before playing records.
The white noise in the output at high volumes is also normal since phono has a 40dBV (100x) higher amplification than the other inputs. In combination with the high Johnson noise that comes from the cartridge and the 47k input resistor there is not much one can do. Also the surface noise from the record is much higher than the amplifier white noise, i.e. it is not an issue, really...that is just part of enjoying analog audio...;-)
