Hope someone can help. I have just purchased a beogram4000c. When I connect it to my Ouverture through the Aux socket I get a very loud hum, especially when the stylus contacts the vinyl. I have a One Remote RIAA-II connected between the Ouverture and the Beogram.I have also tried connecting the Beogram to a Marshall amp/speaker with the same result. In both cases all the units were powered from the same mains ring.Anyone have any ideas.
Congrats on the 4000c. I'm eagerly awaiting mine. The 4000c has a built-in phono preamp, so you would not need to have another phono preamp connected in between, and although I've never tried it I would assume having a double preamp connection would likely cause a hum or distortion from too much gain. Have you tried connecting the 4000c directly to the Ouverture without the external preamp?

Hi Josh thanks for getting back so quickly. Originally I tried it without the pre-amp and it had the hum. Apparently it requires the pre-amp to work with the Ouverture, so bought one - still the same issue only could now hear the vinyl with hum. Thought it might be a ground loop issue so moved everything on to the same mains ring - still the issue. Also tried it with a ground loop isolator to no avail.
Hi Josh, should have been a Beogram 4004 not the 4000c. not sure what the differences are. I take it you have bought a new one - nice

RIAA / no RIAA.Different grounding requirements accordingly.Oh, - and around 9000 euros on the price tag.
But a Beogram 4004 is still a very nice deck if restored properly.
