Transformer Hum


I own a few vintage amps, two Citation 16A's, an Ampzilla, a Son of Ampzilla, and a recently aquired AEA 620. Is it normal to have transformer hum coming back through the speakers? Could I have other issues like RFI from a LCD rear projection tv or interconnects that aren't sheilded well? Or is the age of the equipment the main concern? Then there is the grounding issue. I don't know where to start. Thank you for any thoughts or advice.

As Newbee sez...a ground loop or interconnect alongside a power cord could cause hum, but I assumed that you have ruled such things out already. Evidently your other vintage amps don't exhibit the problem.
The Citations exhibit the most hum and the AEA the least. I will start by process of elimination but I suspect I have a combination of the problems you both have mentioned.
I have had a couple of Citiaion 16's and they were both totally quiet. If all your amps are humming - it is very likely that the problem is NOT in the amps.
I use a PS Audio Humbuster and this works well on my tube gear. It really quiets down those transformers.
Listen to Newbie, he has the right solution for you. If you have TV cable hooked up anywhere on your system, that is the first place to look.
