Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal?


I have an Anthem A5 and when I turn it on there is a slight "hum" if you put your ear close to it. From 3 feet away it’s unnoticeable. It's in the amp, not in the speakers.
Is this normal?

I would not say it is "normal" but it is pretty common.  Both my Acurus amps emit a slight hum that is only audible at close distances.  Most likely transformer hum(vibrations) in the majority of cases.
