Oops - I cited the wrong Fletcher! It was Dave Fletcher who designed 'The Arm' for Sumiko and not, as I erroneously stated, Tom Fletcher.

I have guitar cables that are extremely microphonic but other that aren't at all. they were all like it from new and are of good quality. I suspect some have the floating shield and some don't. As long as you aren't getting any interference other than when you touch it, it isnt an issue. Does your Zeta buzz when you touch it?
cheers,
no it doesn't buzz,it hums a bit when turned up,something the alphason didnt do

It may be an earthing issue which could be absolutely anywhere from cart to plugs. I know that my AT arm became a bit microphonic with the Decca but I have no hum or buzz at all. Try running a piece of wire from the arm assembly to your amp earth just in case. That fixed the issue when I had the Mission arm.
