  Noisy Bellari VP 129?
I received a demo Bellari today & while trying to listen to it for the first time it was incredibly noisy. It is completely unlistenable. I can not turn the gain over the first mark without an objectionable amount of noise, almost feedback. If I turn the gain down & then turn the vollume up on my pre-amp the noise will be just as noticable. I also tried going direct into my amps without the pre-amp & have the same noise. I tried listening to the headphone amp & the noise is there as well. I wonder if it is the tube possibly? When I plug my table directly into my pre-amp there is no noise, although the gain is obviously not enough without the Bellari. I wish I had another tube to try but I do not unfortunately. This seems like I have a problem with the Bellari, has anyone else had this problem?

Mine hummed too, seemed like 60Hz.
I tried a single wire from the Bellari ground to the ground post on
my Monster power line conditioner. This made it worse.
Then I unplugged the Bellari from it's AC wall outlet and plugged it
into the Monster conditioner, and the hum is MUCH lower now.
