One hum problem solved, another remains
I've heard that analog CATV lines are often the cause of this kind of thing. When I get home I intend to disconnect the CATV feed to see if it goes away.Sounds like a very good idea.If it was coming from the amp, it should increase in volume with ... 
One hum problem solved, another remains
If the hum is loud, it may be a grounding issue. I've solved a few with 3-into-2 cheater plugs, usually on an amplifier. If it is low level (sounds more like it from your description), I would gently check the IC connections, as well as power cord...

Whats more important? Speaker or the Amp
I have to disagree with some of you here. If you have a great speaker, there is no way it will sound all that great if it exposes a poor amplifierDitto. Out of nowhere, the age-old insistence upon amplifier/speaker synergy has transformed into the... 
A mistake spending too much on amplification?
Chiho, As Newbee suggested, you might want to say more about what exactly it is that you're after. Between your other thread and this one, there appear to be two conversations running toward the theoretical realm without any specified goal to gui... 
A mistake spending too much on amplification?
It is certainly a strongly held opinion by many but is not and, in my opinion, cannot be proven as "fact". I've been in this hobby a very long time and experience tells me that quality components are much more alike than different.I must be missin... 
A mistake spending too much on amplification?
None of the amplifiers you listed are beyond the capabilities of the two speakers you have. If you upgraded the speakers, you will begin to greater variations between the amplifiers. The fact is there are significant variations from one component ...
