• WARNING: Tube/Valve amplifiers use potentially LETHAL HIGH VOLTAGES.
    Building, troubleshooting and testing of these amplifiers should only be
    performed by someone who is thoroughly familiar with
    the safety precautions around high voltages.

Angelfire phone preamp - no bass

Also, you are only using 3k Ohm to decouple the V1 and V2 stages. You can use 30k or 60k here and it will bring down the ripple a lot more on V1, which is amplifying something like a 5 millivolt MM cartridge signal.

BUT still - Hum pretty much certainly comes from some ground loop. Try a single-point ground or use a ground bus. Yes, it's a pain in the butt to do, but hum comes from ground loops all the time.
