RE: 3012/ii Hum or tube?

You can easily determine whether it is your phono stage by disconnecting your turntable and grounding the phono inputs. If the hum is still present, your phono stage is the culprit. If you determine the hum is caused by you phono stage, perhaps it is too near the alternating magnetic field from another components power supply transformer. Turntables and phono stages can easily pick up hum from stray magnetic fields of other components. Therefore, if grounding does not solve the problem, perhaps rearranging equipment might be the answer. Of course, it could be a bad tube, too.

Good luck,
