Hopefully this is the right thread, Didn't want to bump a thread off the board for a stupid question.

My Turntable has a terrible ground hum when using it. It's currently hooked up to my soundcard via RCA -> 3.5mm TRS. Then the PC outputs using SPDIF to my A/V Receiver on the other side of the room (no ground hum with this usually). Both the turntable & PC are powered from the same socket and are on their own.

I don't think it's possible to ground it connecting it this way to my PC. Will using a phono pre-amp that can be grounded potentially solve this or would it be a waste of time and money? Would a ground loop isolator also help?

Thanks /diy/ for any help.
