the cartridge is picking up noise from the motor in the turntable probably. grado doesn't sheild cartridge says turntable should be, don,t know about your exact cartridge.

60 cycle hum
I'm running a Rega P5 with outboard PSU into a Yamaha receiver with an internal phono stage. I hear no extraneous noise with the needle off the record 'til the volume control hits 12:00 - it then increases as the volume increases.
Playing records, the Exact cartridge has such a high output that I routinely listen between 9:00 and 10:00 and get plenty of volume...
Is the hum a problem or am I looking for an excuse to buy an add on phono stage?
BTW I seem to recall the same "problem" with an old HK receiver and a Denon TT with a Grado cart........but I thought it was Grado hum and when I swapped the cartridge for an Ortofon it was still there, but only at very high, not listening, volumes.
any comments would be appreciated.
