Buzzing sound emanating from my speakers when receiver is set to 'phono'

I have posted this root cause analysis protocol in other posts regarding buzzing or humming and distortion.  If you follow the protocol, you should find the issue.  I have further explained reasons.  I have listed then in my opinion of the order of priority   

1. Ground loop:  Are there multiple ground current paths (equipment plugged into different outlets?  Is the turntable and phono preamp grounded properly or has the existing ground wire become faulty? Connect equipment to different outlets, check ground of turntable and phono preamp. 
2. Electromagnetic interference:  Equipment and connections generate EMI that can enter sensitive phono sections.  Have you recently moved equipment or cable paths … or added a new piece of equipment? Relocate equipment or reroute connections.  Faulty interconnect or cable shielding can permit EMI to enter system.  Check all wires for damage.  Have you purchased a new appliance that is on the same line?  Unplug the appliance to see if the problem resolves.  
3. 
    

Sorry, hit send by accident. 
 

3:  Insufficient contact at connections.  Clean all contacts.  Check for improper contact os connector damage. 
4:  Preamp ware or damage.  Bad capacitors, tubes, oxidized tube contacts are all potential causes.  DC leakage usually causes popping rather than buzzing, but have the unit checked.   A broken internal wire or poor internal connection can cause the buzzing.  An aging or damaged cartridge can cause the problem.  
 

Hope the protocol gives you some ideas on how to investigate root cause.  Good luck. 

What turntable, cartridge and ohono preamp are you using. This may shed a little more light on the problem. 

Thanks again guys!

My table is a Techincs 1500

And the receiver is a Denon dra-550 from the mid 80's

Cartridge is an ortofon blue.
