I never noticed that on the Mcintosh system, wonder why. Its not really seemed to mess up the sound but like I said if I put my ear to the one speaker I can hear it slightly. I have Mr. Sparky coming in the morning to fix it. I did check for this on my old system but believe when I checked I had conditioning on the amps back then and now I have none.
I noticed that you had no hum with your previous Mac system and it seems to have started with new equipment. Maybe the hum is caused by the new equipment. Is there any way you can try the Mac stuff again or a different pre and amp ?
