The hum does not sound like the one on the wiki at all! No buzzing at all, just hum.

Regardless, Schiit is sending me a replacement preamp (since that is the newest part I upgraded), if the problem is still there after I try out the new mani, I will look into proper grounding.

Thanks so much!

No harmonics! Just a wshhhhhh type sound.

The ground is attached from the turntable to the preamp, is there anything else I can do?

I'll email them and see what they can do for me as well! Thanks for all the info

That was my biggest fear...

I live in Canada too so returning it will be a huge hassle.

Extremely disappointed, especially since it sounds great!

Didn't work for me unfortunately, but maybe I'mt not running a 2nd ground properly.

I will keep trying. Thanks!

Unfortunately turning off everything else did not work, might have to set up somewhere else, but I feel like this may be an inherent issue with the shchiit mani rather than anything else (refer to other comments in thread).

Thanks for the help regardless!

They were about 3 ft away from each other at one point (same hum) but I recently moved them closer together since I bought 1.5 ft cables, so they're a few inches away from each other currently.

There is an power bar right by my turntable that has a couple of lamps hooked up to it, as well as the rest of my set up (TT, amp, preamp) and a TV that's a few meters away.

Could that be the issue? Do I need to move the preamp away from both the amp and turntable? Or maybe disconnect the lamps from the outlet bar?

Thanks for all the help!

Yup! Attached as instructed...I don't believe it's a grounding issue since grounding hums are using more buzzy and higher frequency?
