    Unwanted noise (thumps and alternator whine)

    Just to expand on what worlddre said about ground loops, that truly is the definition, but when a shield becomes the conductor that is constanly trying to equalize that different potential, that current in the sheild is induced into the signal wire as a voltage causing noise. The cure is to...

    Unwanted noise (thumps and alternator whine)

    first off, either get a ground loop isolator, or just disconnec the ground from ONE SIDE of the phono cable (normally shields should only be grounded at one end as grounding both ends causes ground loops). Second is noise oming in from the power supply. A quick easy check is to run a capacitor...
