You might try this, it has worked for me once when I had a similar problem. Affix an alligator clip to a wire. Connect the wire to your preamp and clamp the clip to the base of your tonearm, from underneath if possible. Its worth a try, good luck!
Grounding Hum
I recently got a new TT for Christmas. It's an MMF 2.2 LE. I think there's a grounding problem or something because there is a slight buzzing noise present. I looked through past threads on the topic here, but nothing seems to fit this situation. I've checked, and rechecked the connection between the TT, and the preamp. I've even used a Fluke voltmeter to check for continuity between the two. I've checked the headshell leads to the cartridge. All is well. Maybe it's the ground wire connection to the turntable itself? I've run out of options. Any ideas?
