I have a stereo separates, Cambridge Audio, which were bought brand new
last year, and I get "tickling" when I touch any metal part of the
turntable. I have the project debut III, the CA 340 A SE (amp), 340 T
(tuner), 340 C (cd) and 540 PP (phono preamp). All stereo comp are plugged
in earthed receptacles. The earth is ok. I have personally changed all
receptacles, switches, circuit breakers etc, 6 years ago. The preamp and
phono are supplied with walwarts (low voltage). I have no sound problems,
all is well except this phantom voltage. BTW, my stereo is plugged in a
receptacle that has a dedicated pigtail (?) with its own 16 A circuit
breaker (230 V).
TIA,

Sometimes a brushed aluminum surface will tickle like an electrical charge
when none is present. Old Marantz receivers are somewhat noted for this.
Do these pieces have brushed metal?
Yes, all their chassis are made entirely of brushed aluminium. My vendor
told me to reverse a plug (change its polarity-all receptacles in EU are
unpolarized), which I did (the amp's plug) and I think it worked. Thanks
anyway. (I am planning to get a second hand tape deck, from the same vendor.
I could just as well get one from ebay, but the greek ebay is still in its
infancy, and it would be difficult and expensive to get one from german
ebay)
