Tremendous RF problem -- phono stage is a radio


I have got an intractable problem with FM reception through my phono stage. What is the cure for that? I have switched cables, changed grounding schemes, etc., all to no avail.

You might get lucky with changing tubes or cables, but it's unlikely and it's just a chance. The best thing is to shield the phono stage. There are a variety of ways of doing this. Most RF can be shielded by a wire cage that is tied to ground. There are other shielding materials such as "mu" metal that are also very effective. I had the same problem in one home and was successful with a piece of mu metal above and below the unit. The best shields enclose the unit entirely, but just like an antena that works best at a certain location, shielding can often be "incomplete" and still get the job done.
Rives...For many years I used shielded 300 ohm twinlead for FM signal. I am in a weak signal area, and noise from autos on the nearby road was a problem. It worked very well, but the surprising thing was that the shield was, by design, not tied to ground at either end. It was floating.
Thank you all for your suggestions -- the "military" one is excellent. It turns out that I have some mu metal (the contents of one's garage are sometimes rather curious), and I can have it cut to fit the walls of a box that will cover the phono stage, not exactly beautiful, but the phono section is hiding in a cabinet anyway, so it won't matter. I suppose I could allso use an old wire cage that once housed a pet rabbit -- another long story. One wonders whether Faraday would be amused.
The various suggestions that have been made are worth a try. However, let me note that low impedance/high current circuits, which means a MC pickup and solid state amplification, are less likely to have your problem.
