Some cartridges hum on Rega's, not just Grado's.
Usually it's a grounding issue with the Rega as the motor is not grounded properly.
Attach a ground wire to the motor (you may have to solder it or find a way to clamp it)
and run it to the bearing (clamp it or carefully solder it) and then to the tonearm base, and then to the ground lug on the SP-17. That usually does the trick.
