    Hi

    I've finished it (thanks to your help on here).
    Very pleased with the sound but I have a dreaded hum now with this Phono Stage, my previous one was quiet (Edwards Audio MM1).
    Any ideas ?
    Nothing has changed apart from the phono stage.

    Is the transformer shielded?
    Is it close to the phono stage circuit?

    I believe opinion is divided on the issue. I'm not going to say more than that as I've never tried swapping polarity.

    Polarity swaps 50 times a second.

    Hi Kevin

    Turned I'd put the ac wires too close to the signal wires.
