Amp for new Meadowlark Krestel 2's ?

Beernut, was previou amp hooked up in similar fashion as new Jolida? If so, was there any noticeable hum? It seems as though the amp's power supply filter should eliminate hum.

Good info guys. Jolida recommended re-biasing the tubes, didn't help. Seems to be tied into my electric circuits in my apt, my ceiling lights are controlled with a dimmer switch. Turn it down or off and the humm gets quieter but not gone. This did not occur with my solid state amps. Suggestions appreciated. Have to go to plan B, the humm is too noticeable to just ignore.

I've owned several amps that would hum in my system. When replaced the hum went away. The thing is, any well designed amplifier should incorporate a power supply which provides AC filtration to eliminate audible hum. If special AC filters are required to quiet down the amp then something is wrong with the amp IMHO. If you love the sound of the amp then do what it takes to get it right. Welcome to the world of tubes.

Maybe you can remove or replace the dimmer switch?

Hello Beernut. Firstly, congrats on your new tube amp. It would be a good idea to follow the astute advice of Unsound. All dimmer switches will cause some hum in an audio system and have no place in a room with a good high resolution audio system that employs vacuum tubes. If you can live without it, a standard switch should eliminate your problem. You may want to try a cheater plug as well. Best of luck.
