I must be coming across as a complete idiot by now LOL.
I have my Taboo, CSP2, ZP3 all set up. I have a Pro-Ject Prospective turntable I planned to use. The Blue Point Special was getting a bit old so I ordered a new Clearaudio MM cartridge from Needle Doctor, my Wallmart doesn't carry a good line of audio products.
This isn't my first cartridge change but I can't get any sound through the speakers. I swapped back to the BP Special and the same thing no sound. When using the BP Special I did add a MC step up device.
I have tried swapping interconnects, swapping inputs to the CSP2, swapping tubes, making sure all the switches are in the right position. Everything lights up. I have even tried taking the ZP3 out of the equation using a Pro-Ject Phono Box SE II Preamplifier plugged straight into the CSP2. This worked with my other tube integrated amp but no sound from this.
I can hear a slight hum from the tone arm area. I have checked all the connections, made sure the wires to the cartridge are plugged in and not broken, if I had broken one still one side should have made sound. The table is grounded.
I spent 32 years as a journeyman electrician and as a maintenance electrician in one of the largest chemical plants in the USA. I have thought my troubleshooting skills to be excellent but I am running out of ideas can anyone help?
