You might want to consider moving the tuntable off the top of the receiver. There is a hum field generated by the power transformer which might be picked up by the magnetic cartridge in the turntable. A good way to test this is to turn the volume way up & with the tone arm locked down, move the turntable. If you're getting hum it would be in the 60hz area and would intensify or subside depending on where you place the turntable. Good Luck! That looks like a good Ol' Sony Receiver. Mikelj3
I have an old Sony reciever as well, needs a little work cause one of the channels is out, but I love those things. I was wondering, Blake, what would you suggest as far as something to transfer vinyl to mp3/soundfiles in the realm of the new turntables? -H
Hey there Hank! Believe me, I am no expert on this stuff. That little Numark PT-01 worked great for me for quite a while and will only set you back about $100. No need to spend a ton of money...
This is simply a blog where I post interesting 45s that I come across. I'm not an expert on records or music history and I'm fairly lazy, so don't expect a lot of exhaustive background or research. Comments are highly encouaged...
Most of the music files presented here come from my personal 45 collection and are posted for purposes of musical enlightenment only. These are mostly obscure songs, over 40 years old, that may not have been reissued on CD. The intention is to raise awareness of underappreciated artists/songs. If you like what you hear, seek these artists out on CD or get out there and find some of this old vinyl for yourself... If you are the copyright holder and wish any files to be removed, I will do so immediately upon request.

Ha, good for you. I'm still using the Numark.
@Mike: Thanks for the tip! I'll try that out. I appreciate the advice...
@Todd: This thing fell into my lap, so I might as well use it...
