Here's a follow-up: Disconnected TT and ground wire, and noise like jet engines coming out of both speakers, more so on the left, but only on the TT setting, not the CD. Re-connected the Empire, and very noisy on the left channel, not so much on the right. Finally, I connected my Funk TT and also noisy, although nowhere as much as the Empire, and more so on the left. When I connected the Funk TT to the CD interconnects, I get no noise.
The phono amp in the pre-amp was installed when I bought the Prima Luna pre-amp. Is this the culprit?
