How to eliminate FM RF coming thru turntable?


Mitchell GYRO SE turntable picking up FM RF after 5 PM to late at night. During the day, no FM RF being picked up by turntable. All other components, no RF (tuner, CD, tape). All components connected thru Furman power conditioner. Have run separate ground from Furman to turntable ground at preamp (Rogue 99) which reduces the FM RF considerably, but does not eliminate. FM interference reacts to volume control. FM RF disappears when turntable leads disconnected. Any suggestions?

This is just a wild guess, but since it's only happening at night, could it somehow be related to the fact that lights are on (vs. during daytime)? I'm no electrician, but it seems that the difference between night and day might be the clue here. I wonder if the house wiring is somehow acting as an antenna/repeater (from the renovation you mention) is causing the issue, but only when the circuit is closed such as when lights are on.

Again, a wild-assed guess at best but logic dictates ruling it out as a cause.
