At least that's what I assume it is. What happens is that I get a very faint hum through the speakers when I select the TT on the preamp. However, it gets louder as I move the arm away from its resting position and towards the edge of the record. This happens irrespective of whether either the TT or the power supply is switched on. I assue it has something to do with earthing of the arm (OL RB300) or the phono stage (Creek OBH8). Disconnecting the arm's earth cable from the phono stage doesn't make things better or worse. Any guesses as the the cause or the solution? John
