The hum starts after connecting the second + wire to a speaker terminal where it appears a ground loop is introduced. The hum is present whether the amp is connected to the preamp (earthed) or not. Any ideas what I might do to get rid of the hum?
Hi Tony, sounds like you have it correctly wired @ the amp.

Plug the REL a/c cord into the Mr. T. Or - use a cheater plug on the Rel and lift it's earth, if it's in a different location and can't be powered with the Mr. T.
