Hum from one set of IC, but not another


Hi all,

Question: I recently put in a new pair of Clear Day Holograph IC's from the Pro-ject 5.1 SE tt to the LSA Integrated. Before I was running an ancient pair of Monster Cable IC's.

There's a definite ground hum coming from the speakers with the Clear Days, but not with the Monsters.

Any ideas why?

I seem to remember that the Clearday's have minimal shielding, which is not a good choice for phono signal use. Was that cable intentionally designated as a phono signal cable? Or, the common line level type?
