VPI Aries 2 platter is creating hum


My new Aries 2 platter is creating hum. Thought it was a grounding issue to begin with. But, when all efforts failed to eliminate it, I re-installed my original platter once again. Dead quiet. Has anyone else experienced this? Curious as to the cause of this problem.

The original platter is a mixture of stainless, acrylic, cork and lead.

I trust that the new acrylic platter and bearing are better sonically, but think that the white-ish acrylic destroys the look of the table (the new platter looks like the afterthought that it is).
