grado reference statement hum


I just purchased a grado reference cartridge for my wilson benesch table with act.5 arm. I am getting hum when the arm moves closer to the motor (end of record). This did not occur with the ply cartridge that came with the table. Any thoughts? How to cure?

Grado's are notorious for the poor shielding of the cartridge, which in your case is picking up hum from the TT's motor. Used to be a problem for me until I got a TT with a well shielded motor. I've seen suggestions in the past for shielding motors. Perhaps some one will chime in with some suggestions.
