The other way to fight the excessive hum would be to glue a sheet of Mu-metal to the mat or platter. 
Integrated Amp Bargains with good balanced sound?

Arm lift options beside Stylift
I built Safety Raiser myself. It took me a few tries, but it came out fine. The only consideration when starting with a project is: The height of your tonearm! This is crucial as Safety Raiser should be able to pass under your tonearm in order to ... 
Integrated Amp Bargains with good balanced sound?
I have read very contradictory reviews for NAD C325BEE...Is it a great bargain or poor quality amp?I am concern about it's sound being too overwhelmingly in high frequencies (metallic) kind of like Rotel RA1062.Please advise. 
Most popular TT upgrades: skeptical but curious...

Acrylic platters, why?The manual for Rega 9 states that if they could improve on their new extra-hard platter they would have made it out of diamond. I am total novice at audio tweaks, but how acrylic material is better than hard carbon/diamond/or...
