Is it the cable or the cartridge or????


I just installed a Helikon into my Aries/JWM 10.5 set-up. I am using an ARC PH3se phono....there is plenty of gain but I've noticed a hum when I lift the arm off the record before muting (I know...must not do)......could it be the arm cable???? The VPI 10.5 uses RCA to RCA so I am using a Nordus Blue Heaven cable. Any suggestions or recomendation??? Thanks all!

Thanks all for the input.......I do have the TT grounded so I suspect that you all are correct and it is the Nordus....My past cartridge was the Benz M2 good but not in the league of the Helikon (MHO) it had a higher output so I never noticed a hum.....Franks thanks for the offer...I want to post a follow-up in the cable section to see what other cables are out there....I may be back to you, however.....THANKS to all!
