Unusual hum and strange static sound

Posted by JoshT (A) on February 13, 2017 at 12:15:15

My turntable is causing a hum through the speakers, but only when the cue lever is in the up position. Also, I can hear a static sound through the speakers when I raise and lower the tone arm with the cue lever.

There is no hum at all when playing a record or when the arm is at rest in the lowered position. And no static sound except when pushing the cue lever up or down.

The turntable is a vintage Philips AF877 and the amp is a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II (tube integrated with built in ss phono stage). The cart is a Shure 97Mxe.

Any thoughts on what the cause of the hum and/or the static sound might be and how to address it?
