      Bryce FranklinJul 29, 2025
      If the sound from your turntable is distorted or inconsistent, begin by ensuring the turntable is connected to the correct input on the amplifier and that the MM/MC switch is properly set. Inspect the needle or cantilever for damage and replace if necessary. Verify that the correct RPM is set. Also, check if the drive belt is overstretched or dirty, and replace or clean it. Finally, lubricate or clean the platter bearing if it's dirty, damaged, or needs lubrication.

    Why is my NAD Turntable humming on phono input?

      A strong hum on the phono input typically indicates a grounding issue. Ensure a proper ground connection is established from the cartridge, arm, or arm cable to the amplifier to eliminate any ground loops.

      If the platter isn’t turning, first check the connection to the mains power supply and test the socket for power. If power is not the issue, refit or adjust the drive belt to ensure it is properly fitted and hasn't slipped off.
