Marantz 10b hum

Any ideas on how to cure a slight hum in a Marantz 10b? The only solution that I can think of is to replace the power supply capacitors.

I then replaced the three 10uf and one 20uf electrolytic capacitors in the power supply. Still hums, but the sensitivity is excellent. Any other ideas? Thank you for any asistance you can offer.

The hum is heard through the speakers. It sounds like a 60 cycle hum.I will try reversing the power plug. I suppose it is not polarized.
