transformer Hum


does anyone know how to decrease this problem ?
My preAmp transformer hums (not through speakers)...
Is this because of my power supply ? I already have a dedicated line. Or is it because the transformer is going bad ?
would line conditioners help ?

thanks,
flying

Flying, Sndsel has hit it on the head! It is simply loose core laminations in your power transformer. This is a very common problem so don't feel alone. Placing sorbathane pads under the transformer will most likely do the trick. Your problem has nothing to do with a bad power supply or bad AC power. Please do not run out and purchase an expensive line conditioner as it will not fix your problem.
