Ground Control to Major Tom...


Looking for some help with a grounding issue. Although I have a dedicated grounding wire connected from by turntable to my phono pre, I'm getting some pretty significant hum when I make contact with my tonearm...( as I pick up the arm at the end of a LP side...)

What would be the typical culprits and where do I start assessing?

Thanks!

I have a large plasma TV on the wall behind my rack. If I leave the TV is on and I touch the tonearm it hums terribly. It makes me wonder what all the EM is doing to my body. :)
