Buzzzzzing Transformers

My solid state monoblock transformers buzz. I use a CJ tubed preamp (PV9a) and a modified TNT Turntable. I use an SDS for motor stability and a PS audio 300 power conditioner which I set in to the very basic mode without upping the frequency. Could this conditioner be the source of the problem?

T,
Your amps were originally made by some nice guys in New Jersey. The originator was Roger Paul. He has a new company that makes a preamp that I think is called Hcat. He has a website that I can't remember. He probably could give you some advice. The Photon was a great amp.

T, I used to live in NJ and knew Roger and Arnie when they manufactured the amps and their subwoofers. They were the first to make cylindrical woofers and separate amps. The woofers were really something. They made me a set of transmission line speakers and also modified a Dynaco stereo 70 that made great music. Roger is a genius. I have not been in contact with them in 25 years. I remember hearing the Photons and at the tiome thought that they were a solid state amp I could actually live with. ahead of their time.
