I tried Matt's suggestion of tightening down the transformer screws from the bottom and I did find that the screws were loose. Tightening the screws significantly reduced the hum. It's not completely silent but it's much quieter and now barely noticeable, except with one's ear right by the Apetite.

Shippers can be very rough on heavy packages, so perhaps it isn't surprising that screws need retightening after being bounced around.

Hi Gary, welcome to AA. Thank you for your excellent first post. I will be trying that for sure. Just want to get some instructions from Matt first.

What's the rest of your setup?
