Dealing with transformer hum


My Belles 150 makes a humming/vibrating sound which I'm told is due to the transformer. At average listening levels, the hum is not an issue at all, because it's not loud enough to be heard, but I do a lot of really low level listening at nights, and this hum is driving me absolutely nuts.

I don't have the option of really moving the amp much and there are no enclosures to hide it away in. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

I have some Quiet Line (by Audio Prism) on order as my dealer recommended placing these on the same outlet as my refridge (which causes a humming/hiss in my speakers) and he also said anything ciruit that has a motor in it... so I'll have one on each outlet for my stereo and one in every circuit in my house to help keep things as quiet as possible.

I had hissing and crackling in my speakers and tracked this down to my computer equipment (that's what I do for a living so I have tons) and I researched it hear on audiogon and some people suggested putting my Ultimate Outlet in front of my computer equipment to keep it from poluting my ac lines, and sure enough I stuck it before my UPS and suddenly I had quiet, I have a little bit of tube hiss right now that I didn't have on another circuit in my house so I can't wait to put the Quiet Lines in to get to that next level.
