Will be doing the test, as mentioned. But, the design of the Kimber makes it pretty much insensitive to outside noise. Have used them in several places in my system over the years and never a complaint. I've checked by turning the volume up (3/4 of full) with the cartridge up and only just starting to hear some tube-rush with my ear within 12" of the speaker. If I were attempting to listen to an LP at that level the sound would be >100db, which is deafing to me. However, if one is worried about same, both Kimber and WW offer phono ICs with various levels of silver conductors in them.
