What else do you have plugged in to the preamp? Is the preamp in any way connected to a piece of equipment using the coax cable line (Cable box, etc???) The coax cable is grounded outside of your house (same place as your breaker box) and some times it can get some corrosion on it and will cause the ground loop. Try and disconnect one component at a time until the hum goes away. If this works I can talk you thru the rest....
