Hi, my old Technics SL1200 mk2 has developed a weird intermittent hum/crackle/hiss type noise, it seems to switch on and off and more so the nearer I'm stood to the turntable, and always hissing/humming when I touch it, can I assume it is a bad earth?, it is earthed via the earth lead to the pre-amp and was fine until a few hours ago.
I do not really notice when tracks are playing, but when the track fades out you can certainly notice it then.
Is it time to get the old girl in for a proper service along with maybe a new phono stage and recap perhaps or do I need to investigate replace the old cartridge?
I hope we can shed some light on this, thanks is advance.
