Rotel 5 channel amp causes hum through speakers


I have a recently purchased Rotel 200 wpc home theater amp which is plugged into a dedicated circuit through a monster- power line conditioner. There is a low hum through all speakers, which are Thiel 2.2 mains & thiel scs center & rears. The center is mounted right above my samsung dlp tv. All plugs are grounded, and have line conditioners. Help?

Did you find the source of your problem? I have a low hum with my Rotel 5 channel, 200 watt amp. I have tried all the above, except the cheater plug, to no avail.

I tested the "little brother" to this amp--the 125 watt version--without a problem. Could the amount of additional power required to operate the bigger amp be part of the problem?

Please post if you've found a solution. I'm slowly being driven crazy by the alternating frustrations of hearing the hum and trying to eliminate it. Thanks.
