I received my Aries 3 yesterday and set it up today. The motor hum is G-O-N-E. It took a long time, but it was worth it. Thanks again to Bassraptor, Bifwynne and Macdadtexas for all your help.

VPI Classic hum
Got mine a few weeks ago. Installed it with a high-output Benz Ace H cartridge. Loved the sound but there was a hum when I turned the preamp volume past the 10 o'clock position. Later changed to a Clearaudio Concerto, the hum was quieter, but wouldn't go away no matter what I tried.
Then I read the manual closely, and it said something about using shielded interconnects. So I tried a pair of Rega Couple wires, which are made from Klotz cable, and are shielded.
And you know what, the hum just vanished! Now I'm at peace ...
