transformer Hum

Have someone check the rectifier diodes or bridge, whatever is used, and or power supply caps.
Good luck.

Transformer hum is mainly mechanical, usually involving loose core laminations in typical transformers, but can also be loose mounting or "sounding board" affect on chassis, covers or other susceptible components. It occurs because the reversing 60 Hz magnetic field tends to move (vibrate) the ferrous transformer parts and this is coupled mechanically to the mounting. This can be a quality or age issue with the transformer itself. Generally, damping will probably be the primary suggestion you get. Mechanically isolating the transformer, adding material to vibration prone areas, or just isolating the unit from it's supporting structure (shelf). There will probably be many specific suggestions forthcoming.

I had this problem myslef. The power supply would hum so bad that I could here it over the music. It took a lot of questions and looking but I found the problem to be that there was something else that was sending contaminating power back through the electrical system. At the time I lived above a bueaty salon. When I moved the problem went away. If this is the reason a power condiotiner may help. I would try plugging it into a friends system and seeing if the problem is sill there..
