Thanks, Joe. You're right, it is the phono cable. What puzzles me, is why now? I've had this exact set-up for over a year and it never did this. I did move the cable around to the point that I can no longer hear the NPR station, unless I increase the gain to levels that would "blow out Dumbo's ears."
Ironically, NPR is in the middle of a fund raising drive, so I sent in my membership. I guess it could have been much worse. It could've have tuned into Rush L. or Doctor Laura, in which case, I would have taken all my gear into the shower and tried to wash it off.
