If you are using locking type rca connectors, then you may want to make sure they're pushed all the way in. Some input jacks make it seem like they're in all the way, but in reality there's still room. Also, try connecting your cd player to the amp(but don't hit play) and see if that causes the same buzz as the preamp does. If not, your preamp is causing your problems.

The shock from an ungrounded chassis can be lethal. If the interconnects are well made and properly seated, the next step would be to use a good quality power strip and plug all the units into it. Generally that should take care of the problem unless it is a real design flaw in one of the system items. Good luck.
