Wife got my three-year-old one of those old Fisher Price record players and she loves it. So I figured I'd get the real deal out and set up and rolling. Used to have a decent little system back before marriage and children. Turns out, I sold it all except for a Cambridge A500 integrated amp. Picked up some cheapo speakers and some wiring and hooked it all up and now have a dead buzz sound from both speakers. Volume doesn't adjust the buzz. Have read up on ground loop issues and don't think that's the problem - I don't have any other components connected through the amp and have tried a few different outlets without fixing the problem. Does this mean the A500 is gone or at least in need of repair?
Thanks in advance for any help. Have read a lot of stuff on ground loops and gotta admit, it's way over my head.
