GO through the easiest first, you'd be surprised how often these are at fault:loose cables
loose fuses
ground faults (more of a hum, though)
physical interferencesthe loose cables are self-explanatory. still, many an interconnect or speaker cable is loose without being obvious to the user. look at loose cables elsewhere in the system also since they may simply be passed along the chain. maybe loose power cord would do this too? dunno, never had that problem with power cords.
loose fuses really only applies if you have the screw in type at the rear of the amp. sometimes this cap to the fuse is loose.
look for ground faults. try another outlet. usually (in my experience) a ground fault will generate the standard hum, but maybe it may manifest itself in other ways.
the physical interferences may be something rubbing against the amp or speaker binding posts. metal is usually the culprit, but maybe other things as well. check all bindings and maybe the speaker cable en route.
The above is not to suggest you have not done as much, but try again nevertheless. I've felt stupid on many an occassion (well, some will say always) when I thought I had checked everything only to find I didn't - or didin't do well enough.
I woudl suggest that the changing out of the amps resulted in a loose cable or introduced interference soemhow. hence, the noise is there now but now before. also, the noise may be there when playing music, but just masked.
good luck,
curt
