Thanks for your responses. I am in the USA and it is not ambient, amplified thru the speakers. I have tried weighting the top of the unit and surrounding the case with metal, nothing stops the hum but my bare hand grasp. As I recall, the (4) trans...

Please Help - Int Amp Problem - Can't Firgure Out

Spade connectors from Romex to outlet?
Do not use spades on an A/C outlet, they are not designed for A/C. Spades will stick out too far and might not fit back in the box without breaking. Bob_reynolds is correct about finding better outlets that have flanges that crimp down on the bare...
