Something to report. I unplug my phonograph power plug and the hum is still there. What’s that mean. Will move phono to line 3 to see. It’s presently on line 2 and cd is on line 3. Too much fun.
Like I said earlier in the thread, I don’t believe your problem is a ground loop.
I assume when playing the CDP, there is not any "60hz noise". Correct?
You never answered if the tonearm is grounded to the phono preamp ground terminal screw. If not and floating it will act like an antenna.
What better receiver for the noise than the phono cartridge. Crap will ride along with the analog signal to the Rogue preamp and right out to the speakers connected to the power amp.
(The ground terminal on the phono preamp is connected to the signal ground of the preamp.The tonearm needs to be connected there.)

The only time I had a hum that sounded like a ground loop from my turntable was when I was using a set of interconnects that were not properly insulated for turntable use. Morrow literature made it clear to use their phono specific interconnects for turntable use but I thought I would try my non-phono interconnects anyway and hence the hum. I then installed "regular" insulated interconnects, and the problem vanished.
Perhaps your new preamp is more sensitive to this.
Try a different set of interconnects.
I think the 60Hz noise is airborne EMI entering through the phono front end system somewhere.
How close is the TT, phono cables, and phono preamp from the Rogue preamp? Doesn’t matter what the position of the NAD was. Different equipment. For a test, try separating the TT, phono cables, and phono preamp further away from the Rogue preamp.
