At wits' end with radio through the speakers!

Hi, i am hoping for some creative ideas here ...

I have "upgraded" to a tubed phono stage with Herron VTPH2A.

I can hear quite clearly radio in the background! Drives me nuts!

I tried:
  1. Moving TT.
  2. Moving preamp.
  3. Moving grounding cable.
  4. Upgraded phono cable (slight improvement but still very clear)
  5. Upgraded audio cables.
  6. Using Ground Control GC1 doo
  7. Inserting shorting plugs.
My system: LP12 clone with aluminum plinth, SME V, DC motor and Dynavector XX2mk2 cart.

2 more data points:

"old" Schiit Mani phono is quiet and cant hear the radio!

Thanks in advance!

Thanks everyone for the responses!

so:

Digital stage (Auralic, Chord) are quiet as a mouse.
Phono cable is shielded: Cardas Clear Sygnus.
Talked to Keith Herron. Indeed very approachable and helpful guy. His suggestion is the shielded cables.

One thing i will try now is Clip-on Ferrite Ring i saw in one of the forums. Cheap enough.

The last option is to move to West Virginia ! :)
