Dealing with transformer hum

My Belles 150 makes a humming/vibrating sound which I'm told is due to the transformer. At average listening levels, the hum is not an issue at all, because it's not loud enough to be heard, but I do a lot of really low level listening at nights, and this hum is driving me absolutely nuts.

I don't have the option of really moving the amp much and there are no enclosures to hide it away in. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
dubzilla

Interesting ideas. I don't know how thrilled my parents will be at me cutting off their electricity for my late night listening sessions. Hopefully they have some candles nearby or something. I kid.

Thanks for all the input. Like most Belles users, I really love my amp, save for this one annoyance that I can hopefully solve.

Liguy, I'm not exactly sure what these electrolytics are of which you speak? Can you recommend a brand or a site I can look up to learn more about these. They sound very promising.

Thanks,
