Phono cable routing? Too close to a transformer perhaps?

If you wiggle the interconnect cables or RCA plugs, does the hum change or go away? I am just looking for a bad RCA plug, or cracked solder connection on the plug. If the hum does change or go away, the bad solder connection could also be on the inputs on your preamp or other gear in the path.

Rockhoarder, try moving the motor at bit or put a mouse pad under you motor and see what happens. I had a similar problem with my Aries when I switched speeds to 45 from 33. Anyway, the problem went away...(and I removed the mouse pad)!
