Power amp humming - help please


My Krell Kav-3250 power amp has a noticeable slight hum constantly when on - and different pre produces different amount. What could be the culprit?

Thanks in advance...

Thanks a lot Johnson - I will have to try that - I will be careful as you warned me.
OK--typically it's a hexagonal nut in the middle of the top of the transformer,
I have two of the Krell power amps (for home theatre) and they both make hums when I switch out and connect the same way, with the same cables.

Does that mean anything? Perhaps cables or something? (I am so ignorant when it comes to electronics)
If the hum is physically coming from the amp, specifically from the power supply transformer, that is DC offset hum. This is eliminated either with something like a Humbuster power strip, or by trial and error to find what is plugged in or wired that is causing the offset. 

If the hum is heard to be coming out of the speakers then this is ground loop hum. 

So as usual we start with precisely identifying exactly what it is we are talking about.
