Almost all such hum finds its way into your audio signal path through a ground loop, although it is technically possible for AC 50/60 cycle hum to enter from adjacent unshielded power cables. Make sure the AC cable to the phono is well shielded and i...

Why not try to build on/off the best one has gotten to date?  Without some kind of a pivot, there is only drifting; plus, it's got to be nice to have a fall-back position.  I'd be perfectly happy to just BUY the damned cable, believe me, if...
