Update my Tonearm


Every time I use my turntable I have to keep touching until the hum goes away. It’s a Music Hall mmf5.3. I have replaced the cartridge, belt, weight, and added a new a new platter mat. It is grounded to the AV Marantz 70s receiver. Should I replace the tone arm or just buy a new turntable?

Can you tell if the hum is electrical or physical (vibration)? What exactly Are you touching on the turntable to make the hum go away?

elliottbnewcombjr: #3 worked!!!! Thanks soooo much. The white and green connections were loose and slipped off when I unmounted the stylus. 

Glad it is solved.

btw: messing with cartridge pins/wires: another reason to love removable headshells.
