Cartridge, Phono Preamp Hum


I hooked up a new tt/cart/phono pre. Trans-Fi tt, Clearaudio Maestro Cart,
and a BAT VKP 10 SE phono pre.
I pick up hum only when the stylus touches the platter.
Played around with the ground on the preamp, nothing.
No hum anywhere else in the system.

Turns out a ground wire from phono pre wrapped around one leg of the table then hooked to the input of the table speed controller has done the trick. No kidding.
