Krell KAS amplifier hum


The amps are directly plugged into their own dedicated 20A outlet.  Is there a "conditioner" I can use to minimize/eliminate the mechanical hum I'm hearing through my MBL 111f speakers.  I'm not looking for a multiple outlet item, rather, one which plugs directly into the wall and into the back of each monoblock.  Please advise and thank you in advance.

Best,

Confusing post.

Mechanical hum cannot be coming from the speakers. Not unless they are powered. Are MBL powered? I don't think so. So if the sound of hum is coming from the speakers then its electrical,and probably due to the amps being on a different and unnecessary line.

If the humming is physically coming from the amps themselves, you can hear the transformers making noise, then they are vibrating due to DC offset. The fix is either find the cause and turn it off, or plug the amps into a DC offset eliminator.
