Amplifier Hum


I have a Classe CA-100 that I just purchased and there is a loud hum when I turn on the amp. My previous amp was an Acurus A100, which also had a hum, but not nearly as noticeable. What are some of the root cause of this hum? I assume it is electrical interfernece, but I am not sure from where. Any help is greatly appreciated.

some causes are:

Loose or incorrect transformer mounting.

DC voltage on the line. Does the hum vary at different times of the day? Do you hear it through the speakers?
