Amplifier Hum


I have a Classe CA-100 that I just purchased and there is a loud hum when I turn on the amp. My previous amp was an Acurus A100, which also had a hum, but not nearly as noticeable. What are some of the root cause of this hum? I assume it is electrical interfernece, but I am not sure from where. Any help is greatly appreciated.

some causes are:

Loose or incorrect transformer mounting.

DC voltage on the line. Does the hum vary at different times of the day? Do you hear it through the speakers?

Here's info from people who want to sell you a power conditioner to fix hum: Finding and Fixing Hum
.
Might be your preamp. I had amp hum once. I changed preamps and it went away. The hum was only noticable when the preamp was turned off.
I had amp humm and initially thought it was the amp. Turns out, Toroidal (sp??) transformers are prone to this as a result of electrical interference. In my case, it was a halogen lamp on the same circuit as the amp. Turned off the lamp, away went the humm.

My current amps do humm slightly due to design, not a big deal though.
