Radio Hum


I just hooked up a pair of conrad-johnson Premier 8A monoblocks to a c-j PV-11 preamp, and I have a wicked hum, even a zero volume, in only the right channel, and it is picking up a radio station. I have changed and moved speaker wires and interconnects to no avail, though it does get better and worse with movement. It will not happen in the other channel. What am I missing? What else should I check? Is something wrong with my preamp, cables, power supply???

Thanks, Brian.

Go inside your preamp and swap the tubes. If the problem moves to the other channel after the switch, you have a bad tube.
