Hi guys,
As some of you have observed, my experience with CD-4 has been a rollercoaster ride. After I finally, successfully, calibrated my "working" 4DD-5, I noticed that it had a "Whirling Wind" background noise whenever I played a CD-4 record. I didn't think much of it then, since I was exhausted calibrating it, I thought I'd give CD-4 a rest.
In the meantime, I moved the working 4DD-5 next to a new computer setup to finally start digitizing some discrete albums. When I turned the unit on, the "Whirling Wind" was more pronounced, only when playing CD-4 records, however. The CD-4 radar light remained on at all times.
BUGGER....I thought....now I have TWO faulty 4DD-5s! Oddly enough, I thought even just recently having experienced CD-4 playback, it was never meant to be in my life.
After many days of playing around with it, I realized that I only got the "Whirling Wind" when both the 4DD-5 and the computer were ON (I always turned the 4DD-5 and computer on right after the other). Turning off the computer cleared up the background noise and the radar light only lit when I played a CD-4 record.
Whew! So, my question is, is there a way to shield this puppy from radio frequency interference? I use premium Monster Cable interconnects to and from my turnable/4DD-5/computer.
Thanks--Ed
