Static/hiss through equalizer

Hello,
I recently picked up a used equalizer, and decided to hook my turntable up to it for a better sound. However, when I run the turntable through the equalizer (a Pioneer SG-9) to my receiver (Sansui G-8000), it produces some hiss when the volume and considerably more hum than when I had the turntable connected directly to the receiver. Any ideas on how I can correct this problem? Thanks!!

Sonos Zone Player - the ultimate audiophile source component?

Okay, okay, I confess. I gave this post a deliberately inflammatory title and equally deliberately filed it here under "Digital Sources" rather than "Computer Audio" on the basis that most of the folks posting over there already seem to be converts. Now I've said that I guess Stephen will probably move it!
