Re: Amplifier transformer hum: what to do?

I agree that what you describe sounds to be AC line related. It may or may not be improved with a line conditioner.

Look for other devices on the same line or in the area of the amp. Things like halogen lights, light dimmers and variable fan controls can sometimes cause these problems. I would just shut everything in the house off at the breaker box except for the amp circuit and see if it goes away. If it is still there it is possibly coming in on your AC from elsewhere. Even a street light!
