Maybe your turntable picks up some radio station?
No, certainly not.
This is most probably some interference. Cheshire Audio have a rather good video on what may make turntables hum or buzz or play distant radio stations:
Maybe this is of some help
no such music plays not in any radio station near me. Im so confused. It is instrumental music clearly, not any interference from my turntable. I tried an other phono preamp and there is no music.
You know all the radio stations near by?
Please take the time and watch the video.
So it might be less sensitive to what you experience.
To be perfectly clear: No, there is no hidden setting to play (or not play) instrumental music when switching to the phono input but not starting to play a record.
You were right, it was an AM radio station, that causes the spooky music. I watch the video later because now i am interested. Luckily the music is so quiet, that you did not hear it when playing a record.You know all the radio stations near by?

Still an annoyance, I'd say.
You might want to try some cables with better shielding and better connectors. And make sure the ground is attached and also try grounding it to something with an actual earth ground, which I believe the Ultra does not have. No guarantee, but worth exploring.
Sorry, yes I keep hitting Reply which automatically adds the previous post. Not used to that in other software.

Exactly. And I am used to Reply just doing a reply without quoting the original post.
