Slight humming noise coming from Mark Levinson 331


I was changing an LP last night and noticed a very slight hum coming from my amplifier. I have owned this amp for about six months now, and just noticed the noise. It is not noticeable while listening to music, but you can hear the faint hum from a few feet away provided the room is super quiet. Is this normal, or should i be concerned? I bought this amp used from a authorized Levinson dealer and have not had any problems with this amp at all! Just wondering if this is normal, or am I going to see smoke and flames in the near future? There is no buzzing or hum from the speakers at all, just the amplifier. The amp is plugged into a Transparent Power-Wave 10 power conditioner. I have tried plugging the amp strait into the wall and it still makes the humming sound! Thanks for any input on this issue!

Might want to check the connectors and make sure they are tight (inside and out). A buddy of mine has a 334 and he was getting some hum on his rca's and it ended up being a loose connection.
He also had a ML 38 preamp that hummed. He sold it with the hum so not sure what of the outcome? I have owned several ML amps with no problems.

Goodluck.
