McIntosh hum problem


Any of you MAC people own a MCD 751 CD Transport and MDA 700 D/A Converter combo? I do and both hum, wondered if any others with same problem? The converter hums louder and MAC gave me a new power transformer for it, but did not help. The hum is from the units themselves vs. speaker hum. Any way to reduce the hum. Any advice appreciated.

Check with Frank Gow at Audioclassics.com - he may be able to help or steer you in the right direction - they sell and refurbish Mcintosh equipment and have done so for years.
Do they still hum when plugged into another outlet in another room? Have you tried cheater plugs on the units? Is your cable TV near these units?
Those transformers should not be that loud. You need service as a problem prior to the transformer hooup may be creating the noise.
