Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

RE: Here is what you can do.

The old plugs didn't have a real hot/neg leg. You could put the old plug in any polarity. Besides how do you know if your outlet was wired correctly. I was an electrician and found MANY outlets wired in reverse. It made very little difference in the old days. Old stereos used the ground to the outlet AS the chassis ground. Hench hum issues when mixed with new gear.

Sounds like you got yourself the classic ground loop.

Play with the plugs.
