Loud Audible Hum/Noise from C/J Tube Amps


Hello,
Anyone has experienced audible noise using C/J amplifiers: I have the LP70s and MV60SE. Once the preamp is turned on, the noise is too loud that can be heard 20-30 ft away. I was able to cured the problems by using th $49 cents plugs from home depot to bypass the ground loop. Any other suggestions? Is this normal for CJ amps? i have the same problem on both units...
Thanks

I've owned two CJ amps (and 3 of their preamps),. The Premier 12 monoblocks exhibited no hum problems at all, and I frankly don't recall any with the pair of MV75A1 amps I had way back in the 1980s, but I THINK I'd remember.

A couple years ago I bought a Hsu subwoofer amp and was surprised that it came packed with a cheater plug and directions in the owner's manual to use it if necessary. It was, and I did. Good luck, Dave
