Jolida JD-9A Phono Stage Hum Problem


I have tried all the settings on the rear and both outputs, put cheater plugs on all the gear in all possible combinations, tried different interconnects. This a 2 channel stereo, no video connected. There is a low level hum (sounds like a 50 or 60 cycle hum) that none of the above has any effect, however if I grab, with my hand, the case where the transformer is located (left middle), the hum is reduced by 90%, when I let go, the hum returns. Short of holding the preamp when listening, does anyone have any ideas?

Try some weight on top of the case in combination with some type of rubber material above where the transformer is located. See if that improves things. As an example, I use 40 durometer rubber squares on top of the transformer cover of my amps, then place VPI bricks on top of that.
