In many (not all) amps the case is earthed to prevent loose power wires causing the case to become active and endangering users, so using one of the screws on the case will earth the turntable’s tonearm (and other metal parts if they are also connected to the turntable earth wire). Good to see you managed to cure it - you've got a good cartridge (if you can believe me - I've got one too!
), so you don't want it humming.

): "Many" might not quite be the right word, though - 'cause in my view the vast majority rather are safety class 2 (i.e. "double insulated"; case usually tied to "signal" ground...) than class 1.Similar threads
