My Sanyo turntable has a lot of hum (especially after a certain volume level), do you have any solution for that? (Grounding is ok)

PS. sorry for my bad English :/

When you say grounding is OK what do you mean.
Is the hum still there if you remove the grounding wire?
What is the turntable attached to?

 

[alextsak]

I mean that it is properly connected. The hum is louder when i remove the grounding wire and the turntable is attached to an old JVC Amplifier.

I see.
Has the hum always been there?

Yes it has.

Have you ever tried the turntable in a different location?
(A location well away from other equipment).

What is the model of the Sanyo turntable?
Is that old amplifier actually ground at the mains socket, I mean does the power cable have two wires or three?

It has 2 wires but there is a grounding socket on its preamp.
The model is SANYO plus serier quartz pll direct turntable PLUS Q25.

Nope.

If you can, maybe post us a picture of your setup.
Was the cartridge pre-fitted or did you do it?
