Musical Design Pre Amp

Encountering a lot of white noise "air" when used with my McCormack DNA-125. Is this a poor match? Thoughts

The pre-amp made my amp hum loudly!!Figure that. John Hillig couldn't fix the problem even though he replaced the amp's transformer. I changed amps and quiet ocurred. Got rid of the SP2 and never looked back!!

I sent it back and John gave me a bunch of lip service acting like a jerk and denying it was the preamps fault. I will never trust him again.
