Same thing happened to me about a year ago on a different set-up, except the left channel didn't work. Changed cables, switched cables, substituted different phono stage. Then I took the cartridge out, blew some compressed air over it, and reinstalled it. Have never had a problem since then. Was probably some dust (or perhaps the stereo gods were punishing me.) Try it. Might be that simple.
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.
