Hum in phono that comes and goes


I have a strange hum that I hear when I touch my tone arm, but not all the time. When I move it off of a record that I just played, it does not hum. If it sits for a while like before I get another record to play, it will hum when I touch the tone arm to place it in the lead in groove. If I repeatedly touch it the hum reduces and after several touches will go away, so this seems like some sort of capacitance issue.
Is this the cartridge, phono amp, or pre amp, and how do I track it down.
And just to add to the strangeness, if I touch the arm and the pre amp chassis (not phono amp), the hum will disappear.

There likely is some sort of grounding issue. Have you checked the tonearm cable ground connection at the preamp to make sure it's tight? Has anything been changed around lately in your system?
I have checked the grounds, but I don't think that is what it is. I would think that a faulty ground would hum all the time, which this does not.
