Is there anything with a mains ground connected in your audio system?
Hook it up to there. You posted before I finished typing. Something else crossed my mind. Are you still using AK's modified arm, and what is the arm tube made of? Edited by Chris Firth - 25 Mar 2023 at 10:58am |

The phono stage is connected to the mains, as is the pre and the power.
Yes, I have AKs modified arm, with an aluminium arm tube. I have just made a new grounding lead, with a floating shield. It has been plugged in for 15 minutes, and no signs of a hum. It may not be the theoretically optimal solution, but if it works, who cares?

The even simpler solution has been found. Just disconnect the grounding cable from the phono stage.
Why did I not think of this earlier? Why, because it still hums…. ![]() Digital is so much easier.
