I suppose it's possible that there was something awry with the wiring in your sample of the Schick, but hum in a vinyl system has so many possible causes that it's impossible to say what caused your particular problem without more information, as I am sure you already know.

I have never seen a Schick tonearm "in the flesh". Nor have I ever heard one, therefore. The design seems very simple and straightforward. Materials, machining, quality of the bearings, etc, all may contribute to its rather high cost. My only thought about the design is that it does not place the counter-wt in the plane of the LP, which has become a latter day fashion, for good engineering reasons. However, there are many great and even much more expensive tonearms that also do not adhere to this design element, e.g., the Durand Telos ($25,000!!!!).
