How to fix "hum" in Carver Preamp & Hafler Amp?


I have a Carver C-4000 pre-amp that has a 20 watt amp built into it for the time delay speakers feature. The tiny amp is very lightly humming and was wondering if there is a way to fix it. The same holds true for my Hafler DH-200 amp which has a slight hum when I turn it on. Unfortunately, with the amp I can hear the hum going through the speakers. Again, any way of fixing these issues or just chalk it up to the age of the units. Thanks!

Rodman may be right, but first I would try reversing plugs and/or check for a ground loop. I have a Carver power amp that had a hum until I reversed the plug.
