[sdiy] noise with vintage equipment

[mailing gigaspeeds]

Hi Guys,

I have an almost restored eminent 310 string ensemble, on the front is a 
stereo out, If I connect this to my amp I have terrible noise...

How can I fix this while preserving the vintage sound...

I know you have these 19" noise reducers, but I though as NOISE is found 
in the whole spectrum this would alter my whole sound as well I guess...

I'm also willing o fix the root of this problem, probably worn/old parts ?

- carbon composite resistors
- what about dried up caps ? (this would cause other problems I guess)
- noisy opamp design ? (would be harder to fix, altering the design...I 
have the schematisch though)
- are there any other parts that would cause noise ?

Do any of you own vintage equipment ? How did you *try* to fix this ?


thx a lot for the advice
Benjamin
