Noob with unusual maybe, what do I know? issue.

I just had a bunch of vinyl dropped on my doorstep and felt the need to oblige its existence by setting up a basic TT rig. I grabbed a Rega Fono largely because it was cheap and I figured it would complement the RP1 I got used.

Now I've run in to this issue, I don't notice it at moderate volume, but at low volume it is really annoying. Picture a mic in the wind. Like that. My system is making this noise with only the Fono turned on. I have no clue how to deal with this and it is making me a little crazy. You know how it is.

Here is an idea of my system topography.
Rega RP1 -> Rega Fono -> Marantz AV8003 -> Parasound A52 -> Quad 22L2

TIA

I'm not sure if my interconnects are shielded. As far as the TT goes, the leads from the RP-1 are hard-wired. I am using audioquest sidewinders from the Fono to my preamp. I moved the preamp a bit and things seem better.

I don't think the RP-1 has a ground wire.
