Jarek, the PP unit
is basically a Chernobyl reactor that radiates a lot different fields. The PP
did a reasonable job with incasing the unit in whatever they use (if you open
it up you know it’s not so light and easy enculture) but it is never enough. Most
likely your cartridge and your phono cable of transformer are particularly susceptible
to the type of the air noise the PP radiate at your location. Just move PP
away. I keep my PP in the basement, good 25 feet away. I did pick up some noise
long time ago when I keep them too close. Remember if you have any cords running
next to PP then it might induce noise in them. It might not as well. Keep the
PP to plugged in the wall including the main’s ground, do not lift it. Do experiment
with lifting the ground on PP consumers. Plug all your devises into an extension
cord and lift the ground on that cord. If you have no noise then sprinkle salty
water around your equipment stand and ask you mother-in-law to dust you equipment
barefoot. You will have much less noise…
