Jarek,

I would start at the beginning.  Turn off and unplug the TT motor, remove the phono cable from the phonostage and use shorting plugs to short the inputs.  This takes the TT/cart/arm/cable is out of the equation.  Do you still have the humm?  If so it needs to be sorted out right now before you plug anything back into it.  In my situation (not with PP mind you) I had to connect the signal and chassis grounds of the battery powered phono to get silence.  Yours may be silent, or it may have a different problem.

Get that sorted and then play with TT/cart/arm grounding...at least that is what I recommend.

Cheers,

Anthony
