Rega hum


Rotel RC-1090 pre
Rotel RB-1092 amp
Rega P5, TT PSU, Exact cartridge.

Noticed this weekend an annoying hum in the background especially with nothing playing on the TT and volume up. What do I need to do to rid this hum? I realize Regas are grounded internally. BTW, table is completely stock. All equipment is plugged into a Rotel RC-1040 power conditioner. Thanks for all suggestion.

How far away is the pre from the power? The preamp phono section could be picking up hum from a nearby transformer.
Miner42, try moving the pre away from the power, 2.5 inches is not very far, the oak shelf makes no difference. The phono section of the pre is probably right above the power transformer in the amp.
