Ground Hum
I have found a way to eliminate the hum. Though this may not be ideal, the solution was simple. I ran a strand of bare wire from the ground lug to one of the rca output jacks of the tonearm connection block on the rear of the turntable. Hum is now... 
Ground Hum
Thanks for everyone's input. When I have more time I will try every option given here until I narrow it down.A_L 
Ground Hum
I've been wanting to upgrade the cart anyway, so I will give that a go. I have tried different cables, Monster Cable to inexpensive standard audio cables, no effect. I'm leaning towards the cartridge. I've had the cart on a previous table before I... 
Ground Hum
There's already a ground wire running from under the bottom of the tone arm assembly under the turntable to the grounding lug. I have another wire running from that grounding lug to the ground on the P75 preamp. A_L 
Ground Hum
Sorry failed to mention, yes the ground wire is connected. Disconnecting it made it slightly louder. A_L 
Q sound and looking for the name of an 80s remake
Pink Floyd's PULSE audio release is mastered in Q sound. If you can find the cassette tape version, there's an unlabeled bonus track which has been dubbed "Soundscape" by Pink Floyd fans. It is a 20+ minute collection of sound effects in Q sound t...

VPI record clamp
I guess I should have mentioned the rubber washer is there. Just not satisfied wtih the way the clamp works. If it's supposed to work that way I guess it's ok, but I'd like the record to be completely flat. Flat on the edge is fine, but then it's ... 
Pink Floyd's Pulse DVD finally
To add the Pulse DVD has a section on "upping the bootleggers"! It has someone with a hand held camera shooting the concert. This DVD is one of my favourites. The section is called "bootlegging the bootleggers". It contains footage shot by tapers... 
Any cartridges like Shure, but more exciting?
I'd like to know too. Using the V15mx on a scoutmaster because it's the only cart I had on hand at the time. I'm considering the Shelter 201 MM cart as I'm using a built in preamp of a receiver at the moment. I'm upgrading slowly as I have the cas...
