The suggestion below by risabet is a good one. If you haven't already done so, make sure you use Caig DeoxIT Gold on all connections. From your description, it seems like the hum is coming from your turntable, tonearm, or cartridge since you say it goes away when you unplug everything from your phono stage. Did you move anything electrical close to your turntable such as a lamp or another component? Something definitely changed after the last time you played you system when it was hum free.

Good luck,
