    Hello. Lately my turntable (a Pioneer PL-200) has been picking up radio signals. I'm not sure what the cause is, but it appears to be the grounding wire coming from the turntable. When I ground the wire, the radio signals get much quieter, but do not disappear. When it's not grounded, the radio signal is loud as can be. I'm using a Pyle PP444 turntable preamp. Could the problem be that I'm using this cheapo preamp? Do you think if I replace the preamp it will fix the problem? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
