Turntable hum 2 (an exact case)

In the previous blog entry, I tried to show how to connect a generic turntable to the amplifier to avoid hum. This time I show my chain and how I connected it and eliminated hum completely.

Brief schematic is:

Important to keep MC transformer more than 0.5meter away from amplifiers transformer. If not possible, try to rotate it to find the dead ar where the magnetic field is not causing humm.

As you can see there is no loop, nothing is connected via more the one cable. I am thinking to connect the tonearm to the MC transformer housing but found no need yet for this as this was already very quiet.
