Then, confirm the tonearm is balanced and using the correct tracking force. Disconnect and reconnect the RCA cables to ensure they are fully inserted. Try using a different set of RCA cables. Finally, remove the headshell from the tonearm and clean the contacts on the back of the headshell with rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab before reinstalling it, ensuring the locking nut is completely tightened.
