Hi All,
Just bought a Project Digital II Pro-Ject Audio Systems and just wondered if the motor noise I'm hearing is to be expected for a budget deck?
First file is with the lid open Dropbox - TT Hum 1.m4a
Second is with it open then closed Dropbox - TT Hum 2.m4a
Third is playing a track and hearing the noise on the outro, obviously I can hear it in quiet passages too. Dropbox - TT Hum 3.m4a

Recordings are boosted but the noise is very noticeable from 6ft away.

Thanks
 
You didn't post a photo, so I'm having to guess here. Try placing the TT on little rubber feet, so as to prevent motor noise vibrating through the shelf and being amplified by it.
 
Hi
Links are audio and the TT is isolated pretty well, the noise is just when its on so anything with quiet passages in tends to be ruined.
I'm coming from an old 70s Sanyo TT which was whisper quiet but I've given it away now :(
 
I suggest you take it in for servicing under guarantee.
