Conrad Johnson 2300A help needed

Hi All,
I am the new owner of the amp referenced above and absolutely love its sound with my recently aquired Thiel 2.4s and Threshold FET 9 preamp. But, as has been reported in comments on it, it has a pronounced mechanical hum from the transformer which is noticable any time the program material is very soft. I'm not talking obnoxiously loud, but definitely noticable enough to be distracting in my otherwise very quiet room. It is soft, but clearly audible 15 feet away if listening for it. I'll be calling C-J Monday to discuss this, but wonder if anyone has had a similar issue which they successfully addressed.
Thanks in Advance!

Hi Everybody,
A quick update for those who are interested. I contacted Ed at C-J and he said that their suggested fix was a set of elastic isolators that go under the transformer between it and the amp chassis. He offered to send them to me at no charge rather than me having to send the amp to them which was really appreciated. I'll post an update when they are installed.
