I bought a brand new Thorens TD-126 Mk III with factory installed SME III tonearm many years ago and mine also exhibited hum. I noticed that the tonearm wires came out the back of the plinth right next to the power cord. I thought that was rather strange so I removed the metal box that held the RCA connectors and rerouted the tonearm wires out the side of the turntable as far from the power cord as possible. That eliminated my hum problem completely. I'm still perplexed at that arrangement with the tonearm RCA connectors right next to the power cord.

Best regards,
