Getting him in my ARC PH3se phono pre


I use two isolation transformer to hook up all my equipment. 
One has the phono pre, TT motor (VPI Prime) and the speed controller equipment for the TT - 250w.  The other has the preamp, and amp - 1000w. 
I’m getting a hum when I turn up the volume when listing to audio through the TT. Here are the are the conditions it’s happening under:

1. Phono pre must be on for hum to occur. If turned off hum goes away. Obviously, so must amp and preamp Be turned at the same time to hear the hum. 2. Phono pre on, but TT motor off, hum is present. So no music playing. Btw motor is controlled by Eagle and Roadrunner. 3. Phono tubes are new and in good condition. 4. The Phono unit is an older unit, but when I had it connected to another system in another room I did not have a hum problem. 
Not sure where to go from here. Especially since I’m connected to isolation transformers.

Also, check your tonearm negative leads for continuity. Tonearm wires have broken. 
I found some 8 foot rca’s and pulled the TT to the middle of the room. The hum was the same. 
So, not location. Check the tonearm negative wires. After that it has to be the cartridge. I understand Soundsmith cartridges do not do this. You may also call Grado and ask if they have a solution to this problem. Ortofon and Clearaudio cartridges are also hum resistant. Again, the PH3 SE is a wonderful phono amp. If you only use one tonearm and do not mind soldering a couple of resistors in to change loading it is very hard to do better. You would have to spend over 10K. Take good care of it!!
Don't forget those RAM Labs tubes. They will lower your noise floor 10 dB!!
I did a bit of research in the RAM tubes and ordered the set. 
Yes the PH3se is a great phono and a keeper for me. I don’t know what it’s equal is today but it does sound great.
