I've also had several different Grados over the years and never had a hum problem. Frankly, I think the idea that Grados are hum prone are largely exaggerated.

Especially on the inner grooves. I solved it by placing a mu metal shield under the platter on the deck chassis. Don't use either component any more.

Grados are unshielded. Have been from day one. This usually is no issue unless the TT motor proximity or ferrous platter get involved.

per Manfred's post Thorens platters are not ferrous.... explains why the Grado's work so well for me.
Sim
with no problems and I believe these have ferrous platters... I'll have to get a magnet and check. My Grado's both track well. have zero hum, and sound incredible.

Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Sim: Your Thorens platters are cast Zamak (Zink, Aluminium, Magnesium & Kupfer) - i.e. no iron included in that alloy.
