As noted above, the hum is isolated to the Manley, not the other units. Both channels. The most likely common point between the two channels is the power supply in the Manley. It could be a cap in the power supply or a different defective component in the ps. But just as a test, try reversing the power input to the unit, if that is possible in the Chinook. Might also try plugging all the electronics into the same wall outlet. Maybe relocate the Chinook farther away from the cartridge to see if the cart is picking up hum from the phono stage.
Phono stage hum
Dipping my toe into Tubes for first time.
Have been using simaudio moon lp5.3 phone stage.

getting what sounds like ground loop hum with the chinook and my thorens 160 super... tried with a different turntable (cheap teac) and no hum....
any ideas?
