Hum coming through speakers via Bat 300X

I just purchased a used Bat 300X/se and a new pair of Thiel CS2.4se's for a second system. Set them up last night and have a pretty good hum coming through the speakers. As I turn the volume up with no source playing the hum gets louder. Another weird thing is that I have to turn the volume up a lot more when the CD is the source compared to the turntable. I have the Bat plugged into a PS Audio P5 Power Plant which has never created a hum before when I used it. Any thoughts on either issue. Thanks-------

"Thanks for the info, I will try this tonight when I get home. One question, why do i need to turn off the Bat every time I disconnect/reconnect??"

Do it every time and with your other components, as well. Its good practice. Most of the time you can get away without powering down, but why take a chance.
