I assume that each amp is on it own's circuit/breaker?  If that is not the case, that is your problem. 
Power Amp transformer hum - intermittent and increases and decreases in a few seconds
Try a cheater plug. A cheater plug should only be used to help diagnosis if you have a ground loop problem.  It is not a solution as it poses a safety risk. 
Using Mark Levinson No. 380 preamp output simultaneously
If you are using both outputs to drive a bi-amps system, the gain level between the single ended and XLR output will not be matched 
Using Mark Levinson No. 380 preamp output simultaneously

Does it make sense to use 6k$ Nos tube with 5K$ tube amplifier?

Eminent technology et2 on Linn Lp12

@ebm, does the SLP-05 become relevant if partnered with a Symposium platform? 
Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant?

Does it make sense to use 6k$ Nos tube with 5K$ tube amplifier?
If you need to finance the WE300B NOS purchase, then no.  If the cost is a drop in the bucket, go for it.  One man's $600 purchase is another man's $6,000.   
Help with a suggestion for using audio equipment in extremely humid climate conditions
Anything that can be stored in a cabinet to protect it from the salt environment.  Look at Class D amplifiers. Look at an audio streamer or any other source that has no moving parts.  
Tonearms with no anti-skate adjustment
When you change the vertical position of a pivot, you are in effect changing the horizontal distance between the stylus/record and pivot point of a fixed length tonearm, which in turn changes the balance. As we reduce the distance between stylus/... 
Disconnect or power off the circuit breaker
The only time I disconnect my system from the AC is during lightening storms.  I don't notice any improvement after reconnecting.
