Will the DTI work to get rid of a minimal motor hum from a turntable?

I would say no... As THAT is a machinical source. It is only designed for what is know as "ground loop" hum. This is when a mixing board, let's say, and a guitar amplifier are hook up with a resulting HUM from the differences in voltages between the two. Hope that helps.

Mine is a low hum, maybe you need more water in it or the motor could be faulty.

Unfortunately no. I don't know a lot about this stuff, but I understand optical can eliminate hum. Others will be more knowledgeable. I myself would like to know if the annoying hum would be eliminated. Anyone know?

I found that making sure there was no interference from any other electronics nearby helped. Just experiment with moving the unit, the input cable, and the source of your sound (whatever you're broadcasting) around until you find the sweet spot. I've got virtually no hum now, but occasionally I'll hear some and invariably find that someone has moved one of the elements around. Once I put it back where it belongs, no more hum.

I don't know. All I can tell you is that I have a tv, computer, two stereos and dvd player plugged in. If I connect any one of the to another or turn all on at once I get no hum or static. The volume is a little reduced with each button pushed down but no other issues. It shouldn't matter but maybe a shielded cable? I used to have an old computer that produced radio frequency interference. It made static on the older tube type television if it was close to it when I connected cheap audio cable to it.. just throwing that out. Good luck.

I can't confirm it, but I'm using nearly all the ports and there's no hum coming from my pedals

I don't think I've heard any on mine. If you are hearing the hum while using the RCA jacks then maybe trying unplugging it from USB/have the turntable and speakers on separate outlets. If you are hearing it over USB then maybe just try the same isolation but between the computer and the turntable.

have you tried what Wm Mcbride suggested? I am considering buying the AT-PL 120.I have a Technics SL 23. Without connecting the ground wire will give the HUM!

probably need to pick up a preamp for the turntable to boost the signal. radio shack has them for 30.00

run it clean,no gain it will sound great.if you use the gain ,its all you will need..it has plenty of gain

Could be cable / power point issue..the XLR cable will cut off the hum..( Balanced cable )..

Yes, its boost the signal from the turntable to the receiver. I had the same issue, and this solved it.

Also, Jeff: Even after all the electrical questions are answered, this still makes a low level hum which might be annoying. Having tightened all the external screws on mine, the hum was far less but could still be heard during the silence between musical tracks or even with very quiet passages.

I agree with Gary that the main problem you are experiencing is likely based on positioning of your components and speakers. Moving them apart and then testing would confirm this. This cork mat helped me reduce vibrations and static electricity around the platter and dustcover area and was a nice improvement over my Thorens rubber mat that came stock with the turntable. It's a good product but it might not be the answer to the main problem you have.

First thing in my pedal board signal is a boss Noise Suppressor, which is always on. Beyond that, there's not much that can be done to tame the hum of the Magnum 44 as far as I know. Them's the breaks. I only own this as a back-up for any amp issues, not as my main amp.

Yes, I believe you could through the auxiliary inputs, since turntables are not considered very much, in the digital age. I do hope it works.

I bought one of these to reduce subwoofer hum. When I read the instructions, it is clear that it was intended to remove alternator whine from a car stereo, which was a useful thing 20 years ago. It did nothing to remove the subwoofer hum, and I threw it away. I doubt very much that it will help you either.
