humming noise


Hello frends, my audio gear is as follows:
Well Tempered Labs Classic TT
JLTI Diamond phono stage(Alen Wright design)
Shelter MM cartridge
Krell Amp
Usher speakers
I have been enjoying audio bliss, for approx 30 hrs since buying, the shelter, "black silence"
I forgot, to check the "overhang", of the cartridge, so adustered it, it was only out by a small amount, to make it spot on, I had to move the cartridge, a small amount, towards the end of the arm tube, to the spot on area, however when I turned the amp on a loud humming noise, is now coming, from both speakers, I checked the cartridge clips, and all seems O.K., I can't believe that buy moving, the cartridge, a very small amount, would cause this!!,
Hoping someone can help, as I live on the far south coast, of Aust, the nearest audio shop, is 3 hours drive, I'm not sure they be able to help, as turntables, are rare here!!
Many regards

I hope you loosened the mounting screws when you moved the cartridge! Some cartridges will fail if the body of the cartridge is tweaked too much.

Otherwise you have good advice here.
