grado hum

so I just added a grado gold to my music hall 2.1. On my headphones ( through the belari preamp) it sounded great, but then I was rocking out loud style on my monitors and I heard it...the hum I thought I had lost when I upgraded to the 2.1. Anyway the hum is really only present at loud levels, but I was wondering what you folks thought: what can I do to get rid of this? Should I get a new cartridge? If so, which one?

I have used Grado Blue with my vintage REGA P2. It is an older turn table model with ACOS S-tonearm and detachable headshell. I have never heard any hum form Grado cartridge.
My guess is not all REGA models have the same shielding/grounding.
This turn table came with a separate ground wire for the PHONO amp, perhaps it made a difference.
