What would cause...

a TT to play perfectly beautifully but, on occasion, emit a loud, constant "hum" through the left channel only? Trouble-shooting suggests that jiggling the tonearm cable lead coming out of the back bottom of the plinth can set off the hum and also disrupt the hum. This is a Rega model RP3 just purchased brand new. Should I insist upon a return or should I wait and see if the problem resolves?

I'm sure you've already checked the tonearm wire connections so I'd take
it back asap. You don't want to buy a problem. If you take things back
right away, they'll probably replace it with a new one. If not, you'll
probably have to wait for them to repair it. That's not what you want... to
wait, and even then end up with a repaired turntable.
