Thank you blindjim,
I’ve done every test I could come up with. The best isolation scheme was to only have the Anthem A5 connected to the speakers with no other component connected or plugged into house power. The hum was audible from the amp and coming through the speakers. The the Anthem was replaced with it’s predecessor, an Integra 50.3. With the Integra, no hum what so ever!
why does a $4000.00 amp hum yet a "consumer" grade amp is dead quiet?
the Anthem A5 is currently en route to Canada. I'll have a report in 2weeks or sooner. In the mean time, I'm having two 20 amp dedicated circuits installed so the amp will have plenty of power available.
