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!

I had that problem when a local radio station moved its antenna a half mile from my house back in the 80’s.  I could not get rid of the radio sound playing in the background no matter what I tried. I even tried shielded speaker cables.  Lucky for me the station folded within 6 months and about 3 years later their antenna was dismantled.  There are new houses where the radio station used to be now.
