Turntable HUM

Hi, Looking for help. Just set my TNT/ET II. Connected to a Counterpoint SA500. and hae loiads of HUM. I have shorting plugs in the MM input of the 5000. I have ran a ground wire from the motor of the TNT to the ground on the Chassie of the 5000 and still HUM...Does not matter wheather the motor is on or not. I even changed the phono tubes and still HUM. Any Sugestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx

Six,

I had the same problem with my HW-19 Mk IV upgraded with all TNT parts with a Walker speed control. Looked for two weeks before I realized my SAMA was touching the base of the turntable. Once moved and put on a mousepad, VOILA - no hum or vibration. Make sure nothing is touching your turntable base.
