Hum in Cary cad 805 AE


Hi Dear fellows.
I recently noticed a hum in one channel of my Cary Cad 805’s.The Hum is present once I switch on the left monoblock.It is not heard through the speakers, only in the amp itself.What could it be the problem??I calibrated the bias of both amps, exchanged power cords, even the 211 tubes but nothing changed...there is still this hum in the left channel.Any recommendations will be more than helpful!

Thanks in advance!

Transformers sound is typically more like a buzzing at or around the 60Hz frequency but depending on its surroundings and/or how its attached to the chassis it could sound damped and closer to a hum.
I'm not familiar with this particular amp but if it has an IEC connector, try a different power cord and see if the buzzing subsides. When I was looking for power cords, there were a couple that caused my amp's transformer to make a very slight but audible buzz. Not sure why but they did. How old is they amp?
