Thanks for a reply Wayne, I was beginning to wonder if there was life out there.;-) I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "lifted the ground connection"? Everything is soldered like before....I even checked to make sure nothing it touching inappropriately. If it were the leads at the cartridge output as you suggested, wouldn't there be substantial hum when the receiver gain was turned all the way up and the motor not running? At the socket where the cart plugs in are the four soldered connections that start their runs down the arm-each of these connections have a little plastic sleeve to cover them. The hum is very background, but noticeable and only when the motor is turned on.
