Low level Hum in Phono Signal Path

There is a distinct low level hum noise evident through my speakers when the phono mode is on. Can't be heard from the seating area but can be heard when your ear is in front of the speaker, either side. This noise is also dependent on the volume; the higher the volume the louder the noise. What is causing this noise and can it be remedied. (Equipment involved: BAT PK 5 phono preamp, Transrotor turntable with Benz Micro Ruby 3H cartridge)

Acoustat6-Yeah, nice. The guy's trying to explain, in detail, his issue, and he's mocked for his efforts.

I'll assume you're a Community College graduate, so I'll explain this like I'm talking to a six year old: believe it or not, there are 'hum' issues that are steady-state, with no volume differential dependent on gain. Hence, the OP's clarification.

Hope that helps...
