power grid issues?


Hi  Agoners. By chance, are there any bright EE around who may have an answer to this? I get "grid hum" on my Balanced Audio Technology tube amp. It is irregular, happens for different intervals and different lengths of time. I have check my house system by shutting evert appliance of during these "hum intervals" and I do know it is not my house systems that are creating this noise, or fluctuation. I had PG&E check their system. They used a neutral detector and said that their neutral to the source is good. The power is stable. This morning the hum, which is audible in the transformer, was a wave. on off on off on off, for a good hour. then it stopped. Yesterday it was just a straight hum for a period of time. no fluctuations at all. What is going on? 
Thanks for any input!

I use the Emotiva CMX-2.  It's pretty effective in reducing my transformer hum w/o degrading the sonics.  In fact I think it may help reduce some high frequency edge but it's very subtle.
