Well I finally got my Scout with the Grado Gold installed in my turntable. The only humming issue is my poor ground cable (I semi-fix it by using a paper clip, yes I know). With the paper clip the humming is only there if you put the volume at near max level. When playing records you can't hear it. So far it works just fine. I'm going to play it around with different albums to see if I can find the "Grado Dance." If you have any other questions please let me know!
