Interesting - I briefly had a G99, used with a separate arm, and didn't experience problems with hum.

It lives.....Brian talked me through it.
My soldering skills aint up to much-i was sweating like a guy defusing a bomb.
dry joint on the arm tab and a poor connection on the phono plug.
Vinyl is an awful lot more demanding than digital!!!
Sounding not too bad though!!
Nice one mate . Me and Gary will still be over tomorrow night if that's OK

Still trying to get used to the vinyl crackles-but Stevie is sounding pretty good!
