All kidding aside, I often run into things such as this in publications as if it is an epidemic. Maybe it is, but I don't have those issues in either of my systems, which are nothing too special.
One system currently has a top of the line Denon AVR with a Denon DP-47f table running (of course) through a Musical fidelity Phonomena 2 pre with standard cables and I get none of those noises. (This system is about to be renovated).
My second system is vintage with a Sansui 8080db and a Pioneer PL-510A hooked directly to the receiver and again, none of those noises.
The only noise I ever get is from dirt that has not quite completely been eradicated with one cleaning or if it is a bad recording or pressing. Maybe I am just lucky in this? I really don't know.
Still, I saved the pdf anyway, one can never have too many tools for such things!
Nice post in the tips and help category as it were Mikey!

Thanks for the helpful information, but how do I place my turntable away from the amplifier AND keep the interconnects short? Might work in a black hole, but I live in a condo in Canada.

I do have "hissssss" caused from by Pro-Ject Tube Box DS2 phonostage. It becomes irritatingly obvious at the higher listening levels. I replaced the stock Tung-Sol tubes with Selected Telefunken. It dramatically improved the sound quality, but left the sssssss problem unaffected. It looks like I have to learn to live with it, as long as "the level of electrical hiss is lower than that of groove noise".

I have struggled with a high pitch whine from my analog setup due to a refrigerator on the other side of the wall. It is not noticeable with many recordings, but it is with some jazz albums with quieter sections or between tracks. I wish I could move the turntable but that is just not in the cards. :'(
